blue button > vix > backup manager - create a settings backup of your current Zeus image, save this to the internal HDD.

Install Helios with a USB stick then when asked if you wish to restore settings select yes and point it towards the backup you created.

Vu+ duo. Flashed Helios - and restored settings from backup. Everything was flawless.
Well done lads - seemless migration from Zeus.

One minor issue - my swapfile was inactive and not set to autostart after the restore of settings. Just required an activate and enable swap at startup

Make full image backup. If you don't like it, you can go back.

Picture is great...as explained in the release notes there is not really any difference between Zeus and Helios and as far as i can see its identical although i am having sound issues on certain formats which is odd as i am using the same e2 settings i used on Zeus..all is not lost as i have a full backup of Zeus so i can revert back to that if i cant sort it out.

Before the battle against the Gigantes [and Titanes] in Krete, we are told, Zeus sacrificed a bull to Helios (the Sun) and to Ouranos (Sky) and to Ge (Earth); and in connection with each of the rites there was revealed to him what was the will of the gods in the affair, the omens indicating the victory of the gods and a defection to them of the enemy [certain Titanes, including Helios defected to the side of Zeus].

Hmmm - after a restart, the swapfile always shows inactive, even though Enable Swap at Startup is ticked. I deleted the swap and recreated, but it's still inactive after a restart.

Just sorting out some driver issues with regard to the tuners on the 2t, which is why we quarantined the whole line as a precaution, so far my nano appears fine so we may be able to release those boxes that are unaffected after a little more testing, but the 2t is looking like a bad driver issue at the moment.

How long did you allow the box to do it by itself?


What was the update ?
You could have looked at that before you did the update.
Maybe it was a picon update? That can take some 10-15 minutes; might as well explain the above.
