  • I'm currently running Vix 2.1.4 and I'm thinking about updating to the latest version is it (OpenViX 3.0-264 ) now the thing is, it's been a while and my current set up is running fine so I'm not sure what benefits I will get.
    Anyway........I would like to keep my current channel list, network settings, tuner configuration, saved satellites and cccam config......I have a backup of 2.1.4 saved on a pen drive and if OpenViX 3.0-264 went pear shaped
    would I be able to reflash my old image ?
    Or would that not be possible because of flashing the Bootloader.
    Just out of interest is there a guide that anyone can recommend or a few "Must Do" points.....And how long should it take ?


    Thanks for taking the time to read this.

  • Wow that is an old Version lol! Currently on Vix 3.0.600 lol but as they say if it ain't broke lol


    Perhaps Phoenix can explain the exact differences but i would imagine, speed, ease of use and graphic enhancements are main benefits, plus the ability to use new plugins e.t.c but ill let him comment on that!


    You have a backup of the current image so if you do have any problems you should be fine just reflashing this back on.....personally just make a double copy lol and copy you cccam config also, any thing else
    can be added and setup to your needs if it goes wrong.


    Now 2 options on the Image


    You could use a backup image created by Muso (it has most if not all the goodies attached)

    or just download the latest version with no extras from Forum Gateway - Powered by DnP Firewall and flash this onto you box.


    It may be worth just doing a settings backup also from vix menu (this will backup settings and plugins) as you may be able to run this when the new version of image is loaded (not 100% if it will work from your old version to the new one though)


    Either way make the backups, get it installed and post back any problems, Plugins and Settings are just a case of install and setup......(settings wise if your not sure i just take a pic on me phone then use that to reset them up if neeeded)


    Have Fun.....you shouldn't be disappointed with the New Vix!

  • Should be ok to revert back, but you shouldn't have a problem, back up any CCcam/oscam etc configs, and reflash to the latest version of ViX - don't back up your settings from the old version and try to apply to the new as it will break things!

    If I take a while to respond, you can see why.....
