Hi Andy_Hazza,
Yes, you're probably right in fairness. I really feel that I'm well out of my depth with setting this up...But where can I gain the knowledge to set this up correctly?
Hi Andy_Hazza,

I just flashed the new Vix 5 software from scratch. Buttons were working fine, went through the set up but then it froze again, just after telling me that it was ready for use
..... so the menu button isn't working?
Sorry john doe, the skin I was setting up was called Blue HD I believe... The skin is only just that though isn't it? Just colouring and theme of the same menus, etc....
We've all been in this situation buddy. An official sky box is plug n play whereas these e2 boxes have so much more to offer. You'll get to grips with it I'm sure and don't be afraid to keep flashing the receiver and trying different things out. My advice is just setup the basics first and setup ABM (AutoBouquetsMaker) & CrossEPG and then just introduce things gradually.

Thanks for the advice. I knew Sky was designed to be simple and I knew I'd have a bit more to do with the VU but my god, I had no idea how much more! ABM and CrossEPG - more new terms for me! I think the title "novice" would not explain how far behind I am with this stuff! Is there anywhere I can get a fool's guide to all this satellite box lingo, terms, etc. I would love to learn but don't know where to start!
follow Andys suggestion. start with the important things first ABM, then Cross epg. the bubbles on the screen will show if the flash was successful. once the load up page done you should see the setup wizard, asking to setup DHCP, and your satellite setting 28.2, 05 etc, depending what you on. once done all that, the box should reboot, this is when you can start settuo ABM, cross epg and the rest
all comes with experience, took me a day or even more when I first started, now can setup a box in in no time

Hi everyone, Ok I reflashed my box with OpenVix 5.0 and spent some time "playing" with the menus. It's working now anyway! I've managed to find the Auto Bouquets Maker and set up some channel lists (ABM is just the ordering of the available channels is it??). Then I managed to do a scan (of some sort) and now I have some of the available channels. I know there are more available but I can't figure out how to download/scan them in....? I have also managed to do a Vix back-up so hopefully all this is saved should I have to reflash again! Thanks for all your help so far, I'm making some progress but a long way to go yet
if you use ABM theres no need to manual or auto scan, just use ABM and this will do bring channels up.
go into ABM, config - setup to expert mode, schedule scan yes, time of scan to start- this is when ABM will auto update channels (pick a time that when you are not watching tv, example 3:00am.
repeat how often - daily or weekly up to you. keep all non... yes - place bouquet at top = extra debug yes. press green t save.
go to providers and go to Sky uk set to yes, go to sky uk are and use custom and the area you live. setup rest how you want. press green. now go to scan and this will scan all channels.

Thanks for that! I haven't done it yet but will at first opportunity. I had set up APM in Simple mode I think and definitely didn't do the schedule scan....so the APM brought up the channel name but not the channel names themselves. Will let you know how I get on. Cheers
