Judge - the image is still on the usb, I am guessing. But it no longer gives option to up date. As above post, I think the USB has been buggered by the box and in turn screwed with my laptops usb drivers.
HDMI doesn't work, hence trying to flash to get it working
or box is changing info on usb and when plugged into laptop it says it needs a format?
OK - My little USB is wrecked I think. I plugged my tosh USB in to the technomate (has been used as an epg stick on my old box) and formatted it on there (can't do that with the little stick - it doesnt see the stick) Now the laptop is seeing the tosh stick
Can I flash using the 16gb tosh stick?
Nope, the image more than likely created linux prtition or files thet your windows install can't read.Originally Posted by intrigue
Try flashing with the box again before formatting it in windows again.
That's what I think happens in a way, but the laptop can't format the usb then. Just keeps error messaging me. Tried with every each way of formatting
Sleep is a good aid to finding solutons for many problems. Call it a night and tackle issues tomorrow.
Ah ok - but windows won't touch either stick now. However I managed to format my 16gb tosh via the box menu and then the laptop is now formatting it. Is it a no no to use 16gb for flashing?
I'm nearly at that stage. Little longer tho
16gb is fine for flashing although some people seem to have isues with larger sticks. Never had an issue myself on multiple boxes.
For the sticks that your windows box won't format now, search the forums for HP Format Tool & use that.
Good thing this is not a carry on film
Hahahhaa. God I hate waiting for formatting!
Well....flash in progress. Fingers crossed.
I've got Vix but in the set up wizard it still only shows option for HDMI, but it only works with the yellow video lead
Going to bed now. Video output will only let me choose HDMI but it won't output via HDMI. Makes sense! Must be a crap box? So I guess it's waiting until wednesday
One last thing - can I get this box all set up how I want it with plugins as bouquets etc then do a backup and when the new box comes restore from the backup?
