Ok I have changed the location to /media/HDD, and when I went Save, another window comes up and asks if I want save data to /etc/enigma2/epg.dat.Originally Posted by ccs
Should I say Yes or No
Say yes.
I'd be tempted to delete the epg and start from fresh afterwards. (I think it's in Menu/Setup/EPG)
If you only use freeview, leave the box tuned to bbc1 for 30 minutes to repopulate.
If you import your epg from somewhere else you'll need to force a download.

I said Yes, then restarted the box from the menu, and what came up on reboot was just the same as before, service unavailable, then DVB service in the front window of the box.
When I delete the epg and start from fresh, just remind me, what do I need to do, what sequence of events if any. Oh, I use freesat mostly.
You also need to check your tuner configurations and make sure the leads are connected ok.
What tuners are you using?
I am using the ones that were fitted in when I bought the box. All I know is that there are 2 tuners and 2 cables from the satellite dish
Service unavailable suggests the tuners are not setup/connected properly.
Can you post the tuner config screenshots.
I would start again and flash your receiver with the latest ViX image and setup as New with no Restores. Then when you come to setting up your EPG, use OpenTV and set your path to media/hdd (do not leave as default which is Internal Flash)

Screenshot of tuner configs. They were set to Advanced and when I selected the yellow button for Configuration, only 'simple' was available.
To start again and flash the receiver, could I use the front USB port to do so, or does it have to be the one on the back of the box.
I've downloaded the latest VIX image as a zip file, does it have to be extracted first or just left as a zip file.

I would take a settings backup using backupmanager, take an image backup using image manager, download the latest ViX image using imagemanager, and then flash that image using imagemanager.
Note: if you want to restore the backup image you took, you'll need to unzip it onto a usb stick and flash via usb only.
I've used iamage manger to download the latest VIX image as a zip file, now I can't see where or what to select to install that image
Press green to take a backup of the current image, and then the same in backupmanager to save your settings.
I think you're running an old version of ViX which doesn't allow couch flashing on a HD51.
The image manager has stopped or stuck at about halfway of backing up the root files, does it take a while normally.
.... a few minutes, usually.
(I won't be here much for a while)

The backup did complete and then I plugged a usb stick into the rear usb port and restarted the box. The image was not picked up on restart, so I tried the front usb port, no diffrence. I guess the actual image file wants to be in the root of the usb stick and not the HD51 folder which was created on unzipping the zip file.
Just tried again with all the files of the zip file in the root of the usb stick and nothing is happening. the image is not being picked up to boot or install from.
