    Sounds like the image has been corrupted your only option is to reflash if you cant get it to boot past the Vix logo screen

    If you can wait, than post up the crash log and some one can have a look, if you want a quick solution than reflash

    The crash log is in /HDD, you will need a FTP client to connect to the box and pull it on to your PC desktop to upload to the site.

    a crash log would have been created in /media/hdd. you can access this file via any FTP program and upload it here, you can also send any crash logs directly to us via the log manager option in the vix image under the blue button ( obviously as your box wont boot this is not a option )

    Yes, flashing does nothing to the HDD, it keeps everything on it recordings etc.

    i cant find any error logs. i used filezilla to access the hdd folder, then media, and checked every folder inside it. there were no error files.

    how much disk space should i reserve for recording out of the 1tb?

    try by the image it self, blue button / vix / log manager/ remember to press menu while in there and fill out your details so we can keep track of the error logs we receive.

    I would think that you need to reflash the box.

    I have found that it pays to keep a recent backup image

    I use DreamBoxEdit to ftp settings to the STB and create Bouquets.

    As the STB and my PCs are connected to my home network I just use Windows explorer to move picons and other files (or Ubuntu equivalent)
