    Question Should I upgrade to Hades?

    Running Apollo at the moment - should I upgrade to Hades, is it more stable? new drivers?

    Asking the question as I appreciate that it is a complete Reflash and advised NOT to restore settings from previous versions, correct?

    Your experience welcome.

    It does say NOT to restore your settings as its running a different core.

    I am ot the quickest or best when it comes to IT bits --- it took me last night 20 minutes to install and put all my plugins back on.

    Things to make a list of and remember for me are -

    • copy of .cfg file
    • long and lat for usals
    • list of plugins i have / want installed
    • latest channel list ( i use vhannibal motor and ABM)
    • location of my nas (username and password)


    In my list I have a note to always change password of box via telnet when flashing a new image.

    You will encounter problems eventually. It clearly states no restores.
