    Channels going blank

    I updated to the latest version of vix (165) with a fresh install from scratch. Since I have if I change channels a few times the channels go blank and I have to restart the box to get them working again. Anyone else seen this issue?

    Have you set up CrossEPG and ABM and saved your settings that could be your problem

    No that's all setup fine. I had previously updated through the box to the latest image before reading about the fresh flash. It had this same issue and the fresh flash has not fixed it.

    I flashed to an older version (140) and it looks to have fixed the issue

    flash the box like it is new, flash image to most recent and then setup everything from new, without using back up. this should take 10 to 15 minutes to do.

    Ok, take the other day for instance, I was looking through the sky interactive channels. 1 channel had rugby on it, let's say channel 1401. If I hit channel up and nothing is on 1402 and then flick back to 1401 it was ok. If I then flick up to 1402, nothing on, then 1403, nothing on, then ch- back to 1401 it is now blank. If I type in a channel number, let's say 401, it is also blank. I then had to restart the box in order to view the channels again.
    It also happened if I used TS media. If I looked at something and had to search through several links to find a working one, then went back to watching tv, the channels were again blank requiring a restart. Hope this makes sense.

    I am still not sure what you mean by the channel going blank, do you mean the EPG (electronic program guide) is not showing data for that channel or the channel it self is not clearing ie it is staying black ?.

    EPG was fine, the channel was just black/blank, as if I had no signal/not clearing

    Sounds like a issue with what ever softcam you are using, be aware though we can not help with illegal methods of receiving pay tv channels (cardsharing).

    Oh I understand that side of it, just odd that never had an issue till upgraded to 165, downgrading to 140 has solved the issue

    No issues here with my Solo2 on the newest Apollo images or the new images either, that said I do not use the TSmedia plugin nor the Kodidirect one either.
