Hi All

[CS10]

Hi everyone.

Just joined this site as I am about to purchase a solo 2 and wanted to join a friendly community.

Have never used linux satellite receivers, but I'm really into technology!

Cheers :)

:hello: and :welcome:

you have a cracking box there my friend! if you wana have a look at the link in my sig its a good guide to get you started :cool:

welcome aboard

[CS10]

Thanks for the welcome both.

Oh, and before anyone does ask, the CS in my username is actually my initials! Nothing to do with the frowned upon discussion!!

josh_g- am looking at the guide now. Am I right in thinking that for the Solo2, I don't need to flash the bootloader? All I'd need to do it flash to the latest Vix image correct?

if you buy from the sponsor it will come pr-flashed with vix or what ever image you request :thumbsup:

Hi josh.
I brought from the sponsor but left the vu official image as I want to do it myself

[josh_g]

ahhh that's fair enough, im not to sure about the bootloader i assume you would as you are going from stock image. doing the boot loader shouldn't do any harm

[CS10]

I literally just thought all I would have to do is flash it with the vix image on a flash pen. I couldn't find a bootloader for solo2

[josh_g]

Maybe it doesnt have one then i down own a solo2 personly

[judge]

There's no bootloader update for the solo2 as of yet.
Just grab the latest image from http://openvix.co.uk & flash away...
