Easier to visit OpeATV forum, there will be a guide there on how to flat the image on your box

Use Image Manager. You can download and flash OpenATV.

Blue, Vix, Image Manager
Yellow to download
Once downloaded, blue to flash

Abu is absoultely correct, best way of doing it ...... but after yellow button(download) select OpenATV, release (6.3, 6.4) and then specific version

It gets to 96% then fails every time?

What gets to 96% - the download or the flashing process? You can also download the image yourself from the openatv website and ftp it to the "imagebackups" folder in your hard drive. Also do you have enough free space?

Ok I don’t have enough space, i have a 16GB usb stick in the back but can’t download to it? It’s the download that fails due to lack of space

No the usb stick is empty, how do i tell the box to use it instead of the internal hdd?

If you have an internal hard drive then there is no need for a usb stick. In the image manager press menu and you should see the backup location. Normally it is set to /media/hdd

If your hard drive is full then delete some stuff.

No need to apologize - we all have to start somewhere. Bring up the file list of your recordings. Highlight the item you wish to delete with the up/down buttons. Press the red button to delete. When finished you might want to empty your recycle bin - highlight "deleted items" and press the red button. It will ask you to confirm. It will take a few minutes to completely free up the disk space.

By the way - what was the image backup location set to?

... the file list of your recordings will also show how much space is left on the disc.

I don’t have any recordings, I can’t find any files. When i go to image manager the space i have is 196MB. When i press the pvr button and then location the internal flash has 3240MB 85% free space. I don’t know how to change the download location to somewhere with more space.?

I already told you - In the image manager press MENU. You will see some options. Backup location should be /media/hdd

Menu/Setup/Vix/Image manager/Menu will allow you to show/change the backup location.
Cprrobert
15-12-20, 20:13
Yes the backup location is as you said.

Got it i pressed the right arrow and changed the backup location to the usb stick now downloaded and flashing, thank you.

I wonder is your hard drive initialized (formatted)? Anyway work away with openatv. If you are like most of us here then you will be asking to how get openvix back!
