Can you ftp or telnet in to the box. This way, you'd be able to save any config...

Then, you should be able you reflash latest image and setup and transfer config back...

I had problem beginning of week where cross epg crashed, and box would not load. So, just rehashed and all ok...

You have to flash the image after the new bootloader buddy..

Hi sorry if i sound dumb but am new to all this, what do mean exactly? your help is much appreciated

 

[Mr. Mister]

Choose the Vu+ Solo bootloader from here and flash.. Bootloader will only take 2-3 seconds.. and then you will get the flashing light on the front to say that its finished..

power down your solo.. and put this image on your usb stick..

Choose the latest image from here and flash

once you have flashed the bootloader you then need to also flash the image it self.

you can get the latest stable image from www.openvix.co.uk.
