    What type/brand of DVBT tuner are you using.

  • Why the unnecessary limitation on changing Name servers in DHCP mode

    LibreELEC is $free open-source software not a PRODUCT from a company, and no user from any timezone has a right to instant or rapid support from the unpaid volunteers who give up their free time to work on the distro and staff this forum.

    I do enjoy the odd post from the narcissist community who eventually will inform you that you are not worthy of their input. Maybe these narcissists should band together and establish their own forum. Now that would be entertaining to see. Imagine trying to get agreement on a project’s direction. My way or the highway.

    I don't have access to a 2nd laptop to put Linux on but I do have a 2nd card reader, tried that and still no joy.

    The only Linux based computer I have is a pocket PC, I put Gparted on that and tried a few things but still no joy.

    Unless anything else can be suggested I'll call it quits and order a couple more cards.

    As before what size / speed / brand would people recommend for LibreELEC and a some emulation stuff?

    Personally and for obvious reasons I wouldn’t recommend any brand. What I do use is Sandisk Class 10 16gb. Always felt the fakers targeted the higher capacity cards. So far no problems. I literally just use it for the OS. External storage for everything else.

    Are you formatting these cards in Linux.

    it was my choice to go directly to telestar, i choose them because i know amazon would just dump the device.

    Indeed but now others looking in here are aware that there are now three different revisions of the Twin, something that the manufacturer has omitted to mention on their website. What you originally purchased would appear to be what everyone else would be supplied with if they purchased the Twin now.

    maybe they are in the process of rolling v3 out and i got lucky?

    I sent you some PM.

    Firmware Version: 0.1.3 Build Date: 02/21/2023 14:58:23

    The problem here is their agents are selling stock that is clearly not fit for purpose as you have already experienced.

    Worse again, you made a purchase via Amazon yet Amazon directed you to the manufacturer instead of dealing directly with the problem. You incurred the expense of having to return the Twin to Telestar directly. Definitely not satisfactory.

    I’m not sure where you are based or what Amazon region you purchased from but what I do know is prospective purchasers rely on information regarding product versions available before making an informed purchasing decision.

    I was doing a little further research on this and it appears you are not the only person to experience this problem. The manufacturer and his agents should make it very clear what they are selling. If there are in fact three different versions of the Twin available this should be made very clear.

    I have a feeling the manufacturer dumped all the older versions onto the market maybe via a 3rd party who are in turn selling them on to unsuspecting customers.

    The fact that my unit currently works does not mean it will be working in two months time. I’ve also been recommending them to other prospective buyers but in light of this information I will no longer be recommending them until the manufacturer states their current position very clearly on their website.

    looks more or less the same, i bought the first one at amazon, but did the exchange directly with telestar, they sent me the new device after i sent them the old one.

    It’s getting more bizarre. Telestar make no mention of a Rev 3 version of the Twin on their website. They do however mention a Telestar Twin and a Telestar Twin Version 2. There’s a distinct difference between both versions, one is in a blue casing, the other is in a silver casing.

    Could you confirm the firmware build of the model you have. You’ll find that information on the bottom of the Configuration screen on the Twin. Mine shows v1.0.8 05/11/20 and on the box it states Rev 2.

    I want to take this matter up with the manufacturer and the more information I have the better. Could you also confirm what price you paid for the Twin.
