Hi, I have a quad plus and I am using OpenVix. Unfortunately I have never been able to access the web browser. I click on blue button & select OpenOpera hbbtv, then click menu button, the service bar then appears at the top of screen. I select icon which has three choices :. (1) enter URL (2) edit bookmark (3) set startpage. I click on (3) set startpage, but browser never appears even though on the mini screen (on front panel of box) indicates "web browser active". I would appreciate it if a fellow member could advise please.
 
Are you able to confirm you have a working internet connection?
Can you ping your stb from a laptop or similar?
 
Thanks for your reply Topper. Yes I am connected to the internet, I am able to do software updates etc and view YouTube but alas the browser never appears.
 
Ok well unfortunately I have absolutely no experience of that stb, I just wanted to clarify for other members who may have some experience with the Gigablue. As is shows it being open on the front panel, are you sure it is not opening but minimised as I recently had my laptop playing such a similar trick?
 
I am also not familiar with Gigablue, but perhaps you can try reinstalling it again just in case some files are corrupted.
And please restart GUI and see what happens.
For a better browsing navigation experience, I would recommend using a wireless mouse and mini keyboard, if you haven't done this already.
 
Hi Topper, there is something else I'd like to add. Re the the 8 symbols that appear at the top of my screen when I have selected OpenOpera HBBTV . If I click on the 5th symbol and select 'enter url' it gives me the choice of entering a URL (using the virtual keyboard), if I do this nothing happens and I have to exit from this. There is also an 'edit bookmark' choice, if I click on this, a list of bookmarks appear from Google down to Wikipedia. But alas there is still no browser. Regards

Thanks for your reply Sleepy Hollow. I am unable to reinstall OpenVix because I would lose my "favourites" list. Regards

Hi, I have tried many, many times to do this but alas, it doesn't work with my box. Thanks again for your interest.

Do you use OpenWebIF?
It has a BouquetEditor with Export and Import buttons.
The Export button creates a *.tar file which you can save to your PC or Laptop.
Then use the Import button to get your favorite list after reinstall.
 
Hi, thank you for your advice, I will try this. Regards
