Help us pick the next Image name.

Ok guys here goes.

Within the next few days we will be releasing another new image revision. yes I can already hear the Groans and complaints asking why another new flaming image so soon ?????.

Well, we are having a major server clear out, combined with substantial changes to the Image feeds and another OE core merge. This means you will not be able to use the online update option but you should still be able to use a settings backup from a earlier Zeus or Helios build.

We appreciate that this will be the third image revision in as many months and fully understand the inconvenience this may cause to some users but it's a necessary update and rather than asking users not to use the online update, then complain to us after the fact, we decided to again remove the option to save you and us the grief.

so with that and keeping with the Greek Gods theme, we have a short list of 6 potential names, so get involved and let us know what you want the image to be named.

I would go with ViX Sisyphus.....

In Greek mythology Sisyphus (/ˈsɪsɪfəs/;[1] Greek: Σίσυφος, Sísyphos) was a king of Ephyra (now known as Corinth) punished for chronic deceitfulness by being compelled to roll an immense boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll back down, and to repeat this action forever.

In the modern day world he would be punished with having to update his Vix image day after day after day after day....... :snicker:

p.s only joking......

well the ViX image has since day one been in constant development and will be until the day we decide to end it. Technically every image Since Zeus was launched is the same image line, but from previous experience asking users to reflash rather than use the online update, always got ignored, only to be followed by dozens of posts when things go wrong. so we removed the option from their hands all together.

a reflash followed by a settings backup restore, is not too much to ask, and every OE-Alliance team is in the same position but they dont get the flack that we do.

personally i'm not worried in the slightest about what happens once the lights go out for CS in the UK, I dont even watch more than a hour of TV a week even though i have over 15 receivers.

p.s.

I would like to thank all those who cast their vote, the winner was Apollo by 51 percent followed by Prometheus. so Apollo it is.
