Hi,
My EPG is currently blank and restarting the IceBox has not fixed it. This happened several weeks ago and at that time a restart fixed it, but not this time. We had been away for a week and got a notification whilst away about the IceBox being offline for several days. Not sure how this could be since a) we have a wired connection to the internet router, b) the IceBox is never turned off and c) we have both a home battery plus a UPS for the IceBox and the internet equipment so the likelihood of an outage is not quite non existent but is pretty close. The IceBox was not off or crashed when we got home.
I have checked that the IceBox is on the network (it is) so I can see no reason why it would not be downloading the EPG. In this article -  https://forum.icetv.com.au/getting-help/forced-epg-refresh/ - DeltaMikeCharlie suggested connecting to the IceBox via SSH and modifying the Kodi settings file to fix the issue. I'd be happy to give this a go but after enabling SSH and setting a password I get a permission denied error when trying to connect. I assume that I need to connect as a specific user but have no idea what user that might be.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

A couple of days ago we finally upgraded to a smart TV but upon connecting the IceBox to the new TV it displayed the above message. I can't see how the two events are related but the IceBox is now unusable. I have had the SSD out and have verified that all of my recordings are still there so the issue seems to be confined to the OS only.
The full error message reads -

Error in mount_sysroot: mount_common: Could not mount /flash/SYSTEM
Starting debugging shell for boot step: mount_sysroot... type exit to quit

I plugged in a keyboard and typed exit which led to a whole lot of no file or directory messages. I've attached a photo of the messages. If anyone has any clues as to where to now I would very much appreciate hearing them.

It is normal for the display to be dulled if the IceBox is not displaying live TV or is not playing a recording, and it has been idle (ie the remote has not been touched) for a fairly short period of time. Normally pressing a button on the remote wakes the display back up to full brightness. However I have had several instances of late where the display does not recover and in fact I have been able to change channels or play a recording and still not have it wake back up. Most annoyingly this happened mid program this evening when the recorded program that I was watching was paused for a few minutes. The only way I have found to get the thing working properly again is to restart the IceBox which, if you have a recording underway is a pain.
Has anyone else seen this problem or have a cure? This has only been a problem since the most recent update was installed.

I have a regular timed recording set up on my IceBox which worked fine for a while but now I most often get the error "[sector number] EXT4-fs (sda2): failed to convert unwritten extents to written extents - possible data loss!". At this point the unit stops working until it is restarted, ie press the button on the front of the unit. If it was supposed to be in the middle of a recording when I pick this up it will carry on recording as soon as the unit starts up. The other recordings all seem to be fine.
If anyone has any idea how to fix this I would be very pleased to hear it because at the moment I feel as though I have wasted my money, having bought this unit to replace and ageing and equally unreliable Beyonwiz DP-P2.

Hi,
I've just set up a new Icebox but had some trouble with the antenna splitter and after the initial channel scan only ended up with channel 10 and it's subchannels. Having resolved the splitter issues how do I now initiate another channel scan? So far as I can see there does not seem to be an option for this in Kodi.
Thanks.
