Help, Question about image flashing

[johnsilver]

Hi,
I have a vu+ duo with the vix image 2.4.151 and iv just noticed there is a new vix 2.4.165 image.
can anyone tell me if i flash this image over, will it overwrite the old one and leave all settings the same,
or will stuff get deleted ?
Also when installing a bouquet list, does it contain picons or do i have to get these seperately and fxp them in ?

thanks.

If you are flashing your Duo via usb stick.. you will loose everything.. ( But why not make a back up on yo and then you will be asked to restore settings from backup in your installation.. Just click yes.. )

If your doing an update via remote.. you will not loose anything at all..

Does the update via remote update to the latest vix image ? and how do i go about that, what buttons on remote ?

at the moment the latest ViX image is set as unstable, dont worry that does not mean its unstable just not extensively tested is all.

first make a full backup

Blue button> ViX> Image manager> Green button.

then

menu> setup> system> online update> set allow unstable ( untested ) updates to yes. then press green to save and exit back to live tv.

then

Blue button> ViX> software update> pick the unattended option and wait for the receiver to reboot ( takes around 5 to 8 minutes ).

1st :

Menu > Set Up > System > Online Update..

then change opens to :

Yes
06
Yes

Then exit out of all menus..

Then :

Blue > Vix > Software Update >

Then just follow on-screen instructions..

I also must stress.. That with the above instructions.. You will also update your image to all image releases..

Both Stable and Unstable..
