[ViX_Misc] It seem's most of you, have missed the thread.....

[andyblac]

so i posting it again here.

PLEASE READ IT


Important Announcement.

'From build 760 onwards the video-mode selection has been completely overhauled. It is no longer merely a plugin, but has been embedded as an integral part of the image.

It is now necessary to reflash your receiver, a online update will cause issues. Before flashing you can use the BackupManager to make a settings- and plugin backup. If done, you can flash in the usual way and during the First Install Wizard you can use the restore function to restore your backup. This way your box will be up & running in a couple of minutes.

Once the image is up and running, you should go to Menu> Setup> AV-settings, and make the settings in accordance with your setup.'

Cheers Andy,
I always do a fresh reflash without backup as it doesn't take me long to put everything back in manually.
Right! so the answer is clear and final, All i needed
Best wishes

Hi Andy, after a new reflash will online updates be standard going forwards?

Hi Andy, after a new reflash will online updates be standard going forwards?

yes, it's just that the update in 760 is so complicated it needs to be a full flash to eliminate a lot of problems that would otherwise come from online updating.

where can i read about the changes in build 760 and the video selection mode?

should this help my issue with my receiver not switching on at times?

I think you mean Menu>Setup>System>AV-Settings (System was missing from your above walk through in OP)

Once the box has updated you need to remove the usb stick and reboot the box, should load up fine after that

 

[craig37]

Switch off box Removed stick Powered up but still running 753. Download 761 and same thing has happened Will try a different stick.. Have format to fat 32 and ejected correctly from laptop

 

[Rob van der Does]

Why not download the image via the image manager and flash from there? No hassle with sticks and even much faster.

Not as easy for me on Technomate 2T OE. System wouldn't recognise usb disk when trying to do backup, tried several, all formatted to 32 but still no good. I kept getting dreaded crash message that system is going to reboot. Finally had to install new image and I am in the process now. Strangely the usb disk is recognised this time.

Those crash logs would have been very valuable to us as a way to discover exactly why it was not working for you.

 

[leonc]

Sorry I'm pretty new at this and I did not know how to save them or where to get them.

ok did the system flash and have eventually got it installed. I had a problem when doing automatic setup. I got as far as scanning for channels which the onscreen info said completed with 900 channels found. However nothing happened and after a while i presse ok and it went back to wizard again and repeated process. When I got as far as channel scan completed I then press exit I then rebooted. The system was updated.

While going through setup/fan setup I noticed Fan1 PWM was halfway, the Standby fan1 PWM was nothing then underneath Board 59c Fan1 0 rpm. Is this right?

Another question as Andyblac said "It is now necessary to reflash your receiver, a online update will cause issues" Does this mean we have to flash like this always as online update isn't safe? Then why have online update?

Thanks a bunch for all the hard work.
