    depending on the image your currently using you may need to update the bootloader ( same procedure as flashing a image but do this first )

    Then its possible that you need to either flash the latest bootloader from www.openvix.co.uk for this receiver or try another USB stick.

    If it were able to take a bootloader by USB, it would have taken an image.

    IMO, if it accepts bootloader by serial, you can flash an image again. If no joy, it will have to be sent back to TM. Same process, but use latest and appropriate bootloader.

    abu thanks for advice ,ive tried flashing different images , used different usb sticks, tried booloaders , nothing just hangs on starting, the only thing I haven't tried is disconnecting cable from hard drive as someone suggested but don't really want to try that as it probably will be ruined if I gave that a go
    so back to tm with it , how do I get in contact with them

    Please do as Sicilian suggests. No sat cable, no network cable, no hdd cable.

    If that does not work, please try flashing the bootloader by serial, not usb.

    TM number is 020 8884 0701
