Hi mate
Just like to toss a possible cause that some may experience if seeing just the splash screen..... If the receiver is not set to the bird dish is pointing too or channel is encrypted then the screen will stay locked on the splash maybe givin the impression its frozen. A good thing to get used to do is watching your lcd panel on the front of the box as a way of checking its progress. Also if after a while of no pictures apart from splash and after spinner has stopped maybe press your menu button to see if the menu pops up, then you can go about checking your install. Oh and also another good practice is before you flash a new image make sure your VU+ is tuned to a fta channel as by default the receiver reboots to the last channel seen. These are silly things over time i have learnt but have saved me hours of problem solving in the past.

i have loads of them problem is most are cheap unbranded 1gb, but i assume this means nothing as sandisk are pretty good, the problem may lie in the fact most usb pens are not what they appear the market place is flooded in knock offs i had four different model sony stick flash all knock offs but looked kosher.
