    Apollo 007 has been released. Reflash required.

    EDIT 15/06/2014 21:40pm: Since release we have found an issue with network adapter settings causing a crash. Backup and restore working fine. If you need to keep your current network settings, ensure you create a settings backup to restore. Instructions below how to backup and restore.

    Owing to various issues, online updating to the latest image is not possible. A reflash is required.

    Some of the reasons for this are some makes of receiver require the shut down module to be replaced. As soon as you remove it, the receiver shuts down. A similar issue applies to the network device.

    1.
    Although not required, it is good practice to make a full image backup of your current system. You can then save the image to our PC and quickly restore it should need arise.
    Blue Button > Vix > Image Manager > Green Button (New Backup)

    2.
    The following stage is required. (Ignore if you want to want to set everything up from scratch)
    Blue Button > Vix > Backup Manager > Green Button (New Backup)


    3.
    Download the latest image from www.openvix.co.uk and flash the image.
    You can also use the USB flashing method. Refer to the existing USB flashing guides for your receiver. Click here for flashing guides

    An alternative to the USB method, is to use the Image Manager to download an image and then flash it (Couch flashing). Available to TM users after Apollo 006 if they do not restore settings.





    4.
    After the first few steps of the First Install Wizard, you will be asked if you want to restore your settings/plugins.



    5.
    If there is a problem, try again without a restore.


    This thread is not for reporting problems/issues. Please start your own thread for issues that arise

    Additional PiP modes have been merged. Exiting PIP on the following makes results in audio only and black screen. You have to restart E2

    Miraclebox, Venton, XPEED.

    Because of this PLI merge on boxes that do support PIP, you now have multiple PIP options, including BiGPiP (audio of one radio or TV channel, full screen TV of another channel). There is still an issue to be fixed on the boxes abu baniaz mentions above.

    Screenshots don't show the second screen, but should give you an idea.
    Blue button -> blue button to enable PiP. With PiP enabled, blue button -> green button -> 0 to toggle through different PiP modes.

    Tbh I don't think he is moaning. We have had to reflash quite a bit lately. Every time there is a new image after build 002 another reflash. Although Vix is my favourite image it takes me quite a while to reflash due to baby proofing my equipment. I just hope this is the end of the flashing... PS I not am not ranting..

    If you have your settings backed up and restore these setting re-flashing to a working image should only take 5 mins
