The eagerly awaited ET5000 image has finally been released by the ViX Team... Before you go installing it, read on to find out what it has to offer!
If you are used to the ViX image on other boxes, it has changed slightly (for all boxes). ViX is now embedded within the image even more. A lot of settings have been moved out of the ViX menus, and incorporated within the image...
If you have previously used NetworkBrowser to mount network mounts, please remove '/etc/enigma2/automounts.xml' BEFORE tying to setup news ones.
