Mutant 2400 - catch up

[Nunhead_Man]

All OK now as USB worked as usual - push in stick and press channel up as it boots

Hmm (chorus) on no it has'nt

Also as it is now connected to out network by DHCP and to a dish I thought I'd try the blue key route


Does it take time for the downloads screen to populate?

[ronand]

Yes it can take a few seconds to populate. The image download can take a few minutes and there is no progress bar so be patient.

Yes it can take a few seconds to populate

An hour should be enough? Nothing there at all

Remind me - using a USB key I hit the <channel up> key to "flash" ?

Any possibility as I'm so far out of date that I need an interim distro?

[Nunhead_Man]

Also checked the network - all fine can see the gateway etc

And apart from the Vix downloads being blank the "software" option says "feeds are down for maintaining " or summat

[Nunhead_Man]

No one? This box is heading for the skip and you lot for a twitter storm if not

No need for interim updates. Dowload the very latest and follow the flashing guide...

and this attitude won't gain you much support...

and you lot for a twitter storm if not

Please remember that those who develop the excellent Vix image, and everyone who provides support on this forum does it in their own time and for free.

Well said chaser, I have had the Mutant a year nearly now and it's the best box I have ever owned with hardly any issues especially with flashing via USB or image manager . @Nunhead I will give you 50 quid for it instead of the skip

Perhaps a little bit of reading and trying to understand what you have bought might help ... You have to put something in to get something out .... But so many people today think easy come easy go

[ronand]

60 quid for it.

[Bazzer]

60 quid for it.

Looks like we have both failed m8 I ain't going no higher . I reckon a little reading and polite help should get it up and running

Insert usb (with latest image on), power off at the rear rocker switch, then power back on with the rear rocker switch, when you see it say on the front oled screen "found image, update?", press the up button immediately. Your receiver will now go through the flashing procedure. This will take about 2 to 3 mins, if not and it boots up, you most likely haven't extracted the image correctly onto the usb.

Ah! worked out how to flash from USB using up channel on the box not on the remote - instructions stored here out of date

And sorry to all for being ratty - spending half a day trying to sort something out never puts me in a good mood.

I know the builds are done FOC - much like those for the Topfield (see http://forum.toppy.org.uk/forum) we know and love where I have contributed over the years

Instructions look ok to me....

You should really start your own thread m8, do you have a universal remote to try ?
