    Off topic I know, imo Nvidia shield is just a load of over rated junk. Only decent thing about it is the Plex client. PQ Quality output is the worst I've seen on ANY Android box. Venz V10 Pro blows it away for PQ output and its a lot less expensive! http://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/...4k-uhd-hdr-vp9

    Ref. my original Post "Poor picture quality vix 4.2" on XTrend 10k. Being an Electronics Engineer, I can relate to some of the comments made, but can categorically state, that with no video enhancements ever been installed and the Receiver has only ever had out-of-the-box bare images installed, that 3.2 is better on that receiver than 4.2. I have re-installed both images 3 times to be sure. As to the comment of my attitude towards Updates, IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT, in my case, I have no problems with 3.2, it provides me with all the functions I need and therefore, it makes no sense to change that. I do however appreciate the work the Vix Team does and in no way, was my Post a complaint to them, just an observation.

    One difference between 3.2 and 4.2 is that the latter has to be set up from scratch.
    Could there be a setting you have missed/changed?

    I don't have any PQ problems with ViX 4.2. Installed ViX 3.2 to try and the PQ remained the same. I have an ET10k G-Edition maybe this matters.
    However changing radio and tv sources is much slower in ViX 4.2. This also applies to Vu+ Uno, which I have.

    On any services. And it's slow on switching to radio channel. There is a 3-4 sec extra delay. Switching back to TV is normal.

    I really can't confirm that, not on a VU, nor on any other box.

    Out of curiosity i tried openPLI tonight just to see what happened.
    I can confirm the same poor quality , so must be driver related and to be honest i would rather stay with vix 4.1 than use openPLI even if it had fixed the problem.

    So apologies to the vix team for ever doubting your work and thanks to Xtrend for ruining a perfectly good receiver.

    Is there any chance of getting rossi's iskin onto 4.1?
    Thats my main reason for me wanting to update so i can use this skin.

    Cheers Andy.
    I did try this whilst i was at 4.2 build 6
    I copied the iskin and common folder from usr/share/enigma2 to pc then put it back onto 4.1, it seemed to work at first but then crashed when trying to enter the menus.
    Not sure why Unless im missing a folder from another location.

    The crash log will give a clue.
