Hello,
Thank you for your reply! I have read carefully all the related posts on this forum regarding recommended emulators, configs, settings - and tried to follow them to the best of my knowledge and the information I could gather after researching online.
You question about whether my receiver is Linux-based or not. Well, that's a good question, there is no relevant information on the manufacturer's website (
http://www.amikostb.com/). After Googling the issue, I think it might be Linux - but there's no way of knowing for sure. I haven't connected my PC to the receiver (I couldn't), so I set up the server details with my remote control. I downloaded several different firmwares off the net, and updated my receiver using a USB stick. However, when I tried to update my receiver with the recommended Mgcamd files, my receiver hasn't recognized those, nothing happened. I do not know what version of Mgcamd I have on my receiver, and don't know how I can find out: there is no option for this in the menu. My firmware version is "Amiko HD8300series v1.4.30 emu". All I know for sure is the software is called Spark.
So for now, there's nothing else I can do. My technical knowledge stops here. I really tried to find out as much as I could to prevent this problem with the reconnections. I tried to update my box with the recommendations on this forum, but with no success. Unfortunately, these mostly apply to Dreambox, but I cannot relate that to my box.
I understand that this is my problem, not yours. But the fact is that because I'm not an expert or a programmer, I'm out of options. I did contact the receiver manufacturer (Amiko), but they said all the latest firmwares are available on their website and these "tweaks" I'm doing are not supported by the official software, so they will not provide any help or information regarding those. So for me it's a dead end: you can't help and they can't help.
So I will just keep watching the TV as long as I can, but there is a good chance I will be banned, blocked, which would be a shame.
