[QUOTE=twol;438855]Actually any powered HDD or even usb stick should do.... but usb stick is really slow and I have had hangs so try to use something else if possible ... obviously then unzip the image backup and move the HD51 folder to a usb stick and flash.
The Image Backup code was written in a way that EMMC disk image created for the HD51 will hopefully correct the boxmode - IF this is your issue (I can certainly recreate your issue no video, only audio by changing boxmodes)
So you are basically backing up the image and restoring it exactly as before ... but maybe with a different boxmode

I hope this works ... if so I can then go away and have a discussion with someone [/QU

Neat way of going.
Will let you know as soon as hdd is formatted . and I can do the backup.

Thx again
