Obvious question and please tell the truth so we dont waste each others time, but is it a genuine receiver ?.

Fir now unplug it for about 20 minutes, go make your self a cuppa and then try flashing the bootloader and a new image (bootloader first, then the image).

I've never had to flash a boot loader. Before on this
Just the latest vix images.
Can you point me in right direction of boot loader
Thanks agains m8

bootloaders are flashed exactly the same way as the images are, the main difference is they take seconds to flash instead of minutes. depending on the age of the receiver it may already have the latest botloader, you can grab a copy from www.openvix.co.uk in the bootloaders section but make sure you use the correct one for your receiver, using the wrong one will kill the boot sector.

bootloader flashed says finished .remove usb and restart
still the same.
tried to reflash the image and for a split second it says reading usb then back to the starting again.
think i should try older image?
