    The PI24 image doesn't work with the RPi4.

    You'll need to use Raspbian Lite and then use the install script. (non Lite should also work.)
    Run the install script for FR24 and afterwards run this:

    It will give you a nice webinterface and correct common FR24 configuration errors:

    I have spent a number of hours trying to get the Raspberry Pi package to work on my RPi. I tried installing it manually on my then-current Linux installation, and it didn't work. I then downloaded the pre-made package, overwrote my RPi image, and tried that. There could be a video error in the package, because the screen from the HDMI port went on and off, on and off, so it was unusable. Is there anything else I can try? Thank you.

    I did contact them that day and heard back only today, apologetic and all but Pi it has to be. They did give me 3 months of complelementy subscription to tide me over till Pi

    Credit to FR24 for listening, responding and being sympathetic of sorts

    Doubt it.

    Despite the many disappointments and feelings from users. We've all had to take the hit and adapt just the same. And unfortunately voices aren't heard on forums.

    Although it looked hopeful with the additions of the Release/Request enhancement threads they too appear abandoned even though there has been a number of changes to the web front end. The customer interaction soon dropped off again.

    The only remaining solution to get users feelings across I can suggest is the official channels.

    I have just followed the link you supplied and I have no idea what the hell it's talking about,I'm not a computer programmer,I'm a 60 year old planespotter that's spent his life in construction,that's not an answer to the problem it is a problem itself.
    I was in the same state of mind than you some weeks ago when my Windows feed was stopped as I said here :

    Hello SBS users (that still stick around) We know there is a sudden increase in users discovering the windows feeder suddenly stopped working around 7-May. And as of today only a few will notice by way of their subscription downgrading Often users come into the forum for help, get it, and are never seen from again until


    It would appear that I have overacted as Oblivian said but nevertheless It worked. I'm also in my 60's and it was almost going back to school with the Linux matter but finally I achieved!
    What you need is time and a spare laptop and do exactly what abcd567 wrote. I was reluctant at the beginning but because I could not see other solutions I decided to have a go et voila. It is tedious for a non-Linux speaking person but "qui ne tente rien n'a rien" (nothing ventured nothing gained).
    I would recommend you to have a try. The final recompense is when, inside Chromium, everything turn green!
    Best regards

    If that's out of the question, the community has provided a free solution if there is some CPU and ram to spare since there's no official alternate if you wish to keep business status.

    The following are tested alternatives for feeding if your receiver was a windows based setup TAKE NOTE: These instructions are not for the feint of heart. They are complex. They do involve some learning Some SBS Receivers are still NOT supported Raspberry PI + DVB Stick + PI24 although come with a cost. May be easier for some

    And that is my stance also
