Like I wrote this build is usable only for TBS tuners. USB tuners should work but I'm also interested about PCIe ones (check the commands I wrote).

Where to download latest version?

Try again. And maybe using different browser.

Hmmm, still the same - both Firefox and Chromium.

Same for me. But try #4 worked.

After about 20 tries, and no success, tried using wget ... that always fetches 19,405 bytes, but my JS isn't good enough to interpret what it's supposed to be doing.

Edit:
Okay, four hours later it worked perfectly!

The kernel will use the first available sd as mmcblk0. That means if you put an sd-card with OpenElec layout into MatrixTv it will boot from it! Which is good because MfgTool is PIA for me, I do not have Windows at home.

I must be missing something! I've run the 'create_sdcard' script and have an SD card with two partitions:
1) a 131MB FAT partition, named 'System' and
2) a 3.8GB Ext4 partition, named 'Storage'

The System partition has:

The Storage partition just has a lost+found directory.

I've tried this SD card in two 1.3 systems - one set to boot from SD (this one definitely boots a MatrixTV system from SD) and one set to boot from the internal flash.

Neither of these systems appears to boot into OpenELEC.

I have Rasberry Pis running OE, I have AMD E450 systems running OE ... why can't I get the Matrix to run OE?

What do I need to do?

I don't support sd card. Just use MfgTool2 supplied with image and select appropriate .bat file. How hard can this be?

I understood mllan to say that it was booting from SD.

MfgTool2/.bat file? So I have to find someone running Microsoft? ... or are those available for Linux?
