    Its always better to stay with the oldest stick around - usb 2.0 minimal storage.

    … keep it in a safe place just in case you need it again, and use image manager from now on, it's so much easier.

    it looks to be so much better then Fortis anyway.
    just after cancelling my sky subscription so this will be a steep learning curve for me.

    This is the guide for the Tiviar Alpha+....

    https://www.openvix.co.uk/index.php/...ashing-guides/

    The release after 5.3.039 is 5.4.001

    If you have a working system, couch flashing would be easier....

    currently running 5.3.039 and wanting to upgrade to 5.3.040 Running Open Vix

    Sorry, Im currently running 039 and want to upgrade to 040. I've tried couch flashing and it downloads fine. But when it gets to using the image manager the flash bar just freezes and it doesn't update.

    So I thought I would download the new update image to a usb. The instructions say push the power button when you turn the box on with the USB (and image) plugged in. But I assume the power button is the standby button? The white lit button in the middle of the front panel. If that is the case then it still doesnt update the image.
