Updating my et5000 makes it crash

[jonc]

Every time I try and update my box it crashes to the green screen Specially when i try and update 4.8e. I seem to happens mor after i try and scan a single transponder. Also the last couple of days it been having problems finding a couple of satellites and its really slow scanning seams to take ages as it keeps freezing then you see the vix logo spin for a bit then it will scans some more

Enable logs and please post your crash logs.

Silly question but how do I do that

[jonc]

think this is it

If i do a single transponder search it finds the channels then soon i try and go to them it crashes restarts and then there not there

[jonc]

Sorry for bumping up my post but this is starting to do my head in every time i try and update it it crashes and restarts and the channels it finds are not there no more. Its only a few months old and as always done this but now it seems to be getting worse

The best advise I can give you at the moment is to flash the box again without restoring your old settings.
This may take you 10 minutes or so, but will probably solve your problem.

btw: what do you mean by "updating"? A software update or a satellite scan?

I've tried that a few times now using a usb pen. I mean a satellite update like adding new transponders

Shouldn't be doing that on a service scan... This is with vix image, yeah? Which satellite? Multi, single?

First thing to try ... Once you've scanned your satellites, before going to a channel, try restarting the box...

What happens when you download channel settings from the feeds??? They work then?

Do's it with them all but for some reason it's worse with 4.8e I've even tried the restart thing but it doesn't save the channels . Am new to these box's so am still learning

And what happens with one of the 'ready made' bouquets like likra's our vhannibal's etc?

Just run a simple scan, see screenshot, change the satellite to the one you are scanning.

Menu > Setup > Service Searching > Manual Scan

Done that but it doesn't scan all the channels that's why i was trying to add the single transponder but even doing it the way you said takes ages as it keeps freezing then the little vix logo pops up spins for a bit then carry's on again. Just tried it again and did what you said and it did the same thing froze then flashed up the green screen and restarted

Is your satellites.xml upto date?

[jonc]

Am not sure as I installed the image and then ran the vix update. How would I do that

Try an upto date Settings/bouquets pack, It may already contain the channels you are looking for.

That pack should already contain an upto date satellites.xml
