I want to try and let my server rest occasionally so I have set up USB drives to boot my PCHs, which work great, but I want to implement WOL to nudge the server. The old posts on how to set this up suggest ether-wake but the link to Martins zip no longer works - any chance I can get a copy from somewhere, assuming that's still the best option.
Cheers for all and any instructions/help.

I found this which looks right. You know things are obsolete when several old hosts are long going, inlcuding the GB-PVR wiki.

Cheers Martin. Still love our PCH based system which does exactly what we want with minimal intervention. I even fired up an old MVP I have set up on an even older portable 4:3 CRT TV in the garage recently. Haven't used it in years but it still works so if it ain't broke...

You are not alone... We have three A110s in daily use (plus another 4 pre-owned A110s up in the loft - setup, tested and ready to go as spares, along with 4 MVPs
- don't have any CRT TV's though
)

But there isn't really anything to replace the NMT's currently (I don't want to in any way go down the Kodi path).... I did hope that something would develop from the Nlite branch but alas nothing yet.
And yes we have two m34a's & one MVP in everyday use & three PCH's tucked away as spares.

You should be able to use pretty much any small Linux box with nlite. It's just not popular because most people these days seem fixated on Kodi.

Where is a download of this Linux build of nlite? Thanks.

Mine PCH A110 is still going strong; the original A100 went TU though. I have a RPi2 with Martins XNEWA on it as a spare.

I wonder if anyone has got it running on an enigma2 box? - my skills are so low that I've been unable to get gcc or the like running
