Don't tell me I have to reflash! How much reflashing can my duo2 take? It will soon be bricked im sure.

WHAT A LOAD OF SCARMONGERING ********. I have flashed my various receivers many hundreds even thousands of times with no ill effects what so ever.

There seems to be a complete lack of understanding among newcomers as to how these images work, and why a Flash is necessary and why.
On some forums, they scream for new daily updates, on others why do we have to flash?..... As long as they can get their ***** to work in the receiver they just don,t want to put in a little bit of reading to understand some of the basics

Good job you don't use some other images as they release daily updates

The choice of flashing is yours. If you're happy with your current image and you have no problems with it then why update?

As has been noted in the past, in the first two years of ViX you would routinely wait any where from three months to at the longest nine months for a image update to be released and we got bombarded from users who demanded access to updates whether they were tested or not. The system you now have was built specifically to abate those users and the team now get complaints of too many updates. And people wonder why Andy decided to take a back step from ViX ???.

The more I have to use other images(Wetek) the more I am grateful for ViX, it also helps your understanding running your own builds
Personally, I think the ViX team should release a new build when they think its valuable and contributes, that might mean sometimes daily, sometimes not for months... People can always run their own builds if they are that impatient .. Or move to another image .. To which I wish them all the best

 

[lacen]

It may not only be an issue of less or more often apearing updated builds. As I wrote before, I rate openVix highly for it's stability and funcionalism , but I give other images a chance if they have funtions I need (and can not find in VIX image). I realize, that some features strongly depend on the type of the receiver rather then on the image, and even if I use some other image, I very often read this forum to find the news and functions that would let me go back to openVIX.

Scaremongering? I think that you have chosen the wrong word, Who and why am i trying to scare monger? anyhow, I appreciate how much work it takes, I'm a true believer of hard work, especially when it pays off.
The only reason I was worried about constant reflashing was because of reading a post somewhere on this forum stating that we should use a USB stick to store EPG data so we don't keep writing to the internal flash.

And please excuse me when I come across as a newbie, I have read and re-read many posts relating to vix and all the other images and also have basic knowledge of linux etc. Problem is, because I do not apply this knowledge on a regular basis then I forget about it, like most humans. Don't get me wrong I have often solved a problem myself, even complex problems, just from reading forums etc.
I am also the go-to-guy for family and friends when it comes to anything related to technology and computers...
So why do I keep posting newbie questions when most of the answers are here or on the net? Well, you guys respond quicker than I can go through numerous threads looking for the right answer, and when you have two young children and run your own business and are also building your own extension then time is limited, massively limited. I don't have the time I used to.

I have used blackhole and can confirm, it was a nightmare from the word go, I hated it. I will always use VIX and am thankful for the support.
I am just sorry I have to moan every time I have to flash my box, I just don't have the time..... lol.

EPG best stored to your HDD.

The reason epg data should not be written to the internal flash is so you don't fill up the flash memory and crash the box - it wont reduce the lifespan of the receiver. The hard drive is the best place for it if you have one installed - if not then use a usb stick. Unfortunately some people would believe anything that is written on a forum and there are too many old wives tales going around.

 

[roy0110]

what is the advantage of storing epg on the HDD over the usb drive?

 

[ronand]

A usb drive may get removed from time to time - a hard drive is generally left in the receiver so there is less likelyhood of any problems. If you remove the usb drive and the receiver attempts to import epg data it will default back to internal flash as the storage device. Other than that I cant see any other reason. So if you have a hard drive then use it. Epg data is held in live memory after being read from the hard drive. Picons on the other hand are best stored on the usb stick as otherwise you will have to wait for the hard drive to spin up every time you change channel.

 

[roy0110]

the reason i asked is because i have heard several times that epg is best stored on HDD, and others maintain that it's best on usb.
i have HDD that i use purely for recordings, i also have a usb stick for epg and picons, so it's never removed.
this works best for me but if theres a better way i'd be open to change.

 

[ronand]

If you always leave the stick plugged in then there is no reason to change if everything is working fine.
