wasn't sure if there was a way to get to a boot menu,on the itgate you can get into boot menu holding VOL + when switching on

By what you've described I would re-flash using USB method. Use VTI image and replace the drivers here http://www.vuplus-support.co.uk/showthread.php?1205-VTi-quot-Vu-Solo-Team-Image-quot-V0.1-1.07.2010-USB-Drivers

Where you doing anything that might have caused a green screen? What was the last thing you changed/installed?

Dont worry, very easy to flash. Guide here http://www.vuplus-support.co.uk/showthread.php?1148-How-to-flash-your-VU-Solo-with-USB-stick

Have you never flashed it since you bought it? Surprised you even managed to get you motor to work with the stock release image. What image was on it out of interest?

Originally i had a bit of trouble getting it set up due to the drivers missing,so once i got the drivers installed it's been ok till the wife & kid get there hands on it,wouldn't care 95% of the channels they watch are on freesat...
will have a go at flashing later today (hopefully) weren't the days of cable boxes so easy .....click on restore on my pc to ip address and away it went back to its original state (itgates by the way) all channels where i put them....Ahhh......
