From time to time, you cannot perform an update. You must flash/install the image instead.

What you should do now.....

1. Make a settings backup
2. Reinstall/flash 036 image
3. Restore the settings and plugins

Blue Button> Vix > Image Manager >Downloads(yellow) > Select 3.2.latest image and download. Then go back one stage then select the image 3.2.xxx and click restore.

I know this may sound stupid but the box did not come with any strings or pluggins we installed them from the Internet when prompted

When using the blue button method and after you had restored the download, what did you do when the set up wizard asked do you want to restore settings ? Do you want to restore plugins ?

Clicked no. The settings that were on it were the exact same as it is now. So that wudnt make any difference.

Updates, images available and image backups are different things.

To find out the image you are on:
Menu >Information >About

Images shown in Image Manager:
Image manager will list the existing images you have in the image backup folder of the HDD. Any images you backup will be created in that directory. If you want to download an image, you must press the yellow button to download it. Onec it is downlaoded you can flash/restore it.

Updates:
Run the command above to show what updates are available.
