    If it loads the old image, try "Couch Flashing" the latest image. Blue button > ViX > Image manager

    Hi, when I had problem with my remote I used the Open Webif remote, could do almost everything, i.e. as Andy Hazza explain, Blue button > ViX > Image manager...
    Give it a try.

    Not being too familiar with the ultimo

    Is there a light on the top of the remote does it flash when you press a key
    Have you changed the batteries

    Is there a led on the ultimo display that flashes when it receives a signal from the remote

    i ask as my duo 2 has a light on the remote and a led in the display when receiving a signal

    If i had to guess at why it wont flash i would think that maybe the flash image is not extracted /unzipped or not in the right folder
    have you followed the guide to the letter

    Preparation.
    1. Format a USB stick to FAT32.
    2. Download the image of your choice and extract it to your desktop.
    3. Open the folder you extracted to your desktop, in this case named openvix-
    vusultimo_usb, you will see another folder named vuplus, this is your image file. Copy the
    entire vuplus folder directly to the USB stick.
    Flashing the Receiver.
    – Fully power the receiver down via the rocker switch at the rear of the receiver.
    – Insert the USB stick containing the image files into one of the USB ports on the receiver.

    If you dont see the prompt to press - button but instead see the message “starting” it means that the
    receiver has not detected the USB stick or image files or both. If this happens start from the
    beginning or try another USB stick, Image or USB port on the receiver

    I had a similar problem with my uno but I could not fix it. The only thing the remote would do was to bring the unit out of deep standby but nothing else. I ended up getting a solo2. The remote was not faulty - I still use ut with the solo2.
