    If you are using a Image prior to build 008, we recommend a reflash via USB or via the inbuilt Image manager, if you are on build 008 you should be fine using the online updates or update via a telnet session.

    ive tested this though and it does work perfectly,but the downside is the size of the patch,this patch alone takes up nearly 10% of the flash space,so for now ive removed it,and this is possibly the reason its not been added to the standard ViX image.Space is always a preminum and certain things have to be left out to save on it,its a trade off im afraid.


    Ian.



    yes that does ring a bell, we did look into it but decided against using it by default due to its size.

    vix wont support it because its microsoft and they dont want to into trouble with them. i know BH supports it but i dont want to change image just for one thing plus i cant be @rsed converting all my WMA to MP3 lol


    Dont know where you got that bit of info from but we have no such stance against WMA support. support first has to be provided by the manufacturer in their drivers, also worth pointing out is the fact that BH is based directly on the Vu+ OE and as such they have access to things we would not as our image is not based on Vu's.


    The ViX Image for the Quad plus has already been built but none of the Dev team have had access to one on which to test, until today when we recruited a new beta tester specifically for this unit, as far as I am aware the only issue holding back release is the LCD which is not working correctly (needs to be skinned), once that's sorted we will release the image.

    Apollo 003 is being released.



    Online updating is not possible.



    Please make a settings backup using following process:

    Apollo feeds have been set to 'unstable' due to possible issues with build 002. For the time being if you wish to use the feeds you will need to set 'allow unstable updates' to yes.

    i was a mod over at dreamboxuk before it shut down and we used to have a section for short ppv shares be nice if we had the same here.


    As was I but we were a relatively close knit group over there, here and else where you may not know with who you'r opening your receiver upto etc. And with the new measures coming into force by the service provider, it's best to air more on the side of caution.

    Hundreds turned out today to pay their respects to a World War Two veteran who almost slipped away unnoticed.



    Former RAF flyer George Thompson passed away at 96 with no family members and few surviving friends. But the Royal Air Force Association urged people to attend today’s funeral to give him the send-off he deserved.



    People around the country helped to spread the word, and this afternoon around 300 turned out to Hutcliffe Wood Crematorium in Sheffield.



    Before the service Australian visitor Wally Walsh, 72, said: “We had come over from Australia on holiday and were staying in Berkshire.



    “We saw the appeal for people to come in the news and my wife and I decided we would make the trip to pay our respects. It’s fabulous to see so many people gathered today.”



    As the coffin was brought up to the church, servicemen, led by the sound of bagpipes, saluted Mr Thompson.



    The coffin was then brought inside and at least 300 people – comprising servicemen, war veterans, members of the emergency services, and many journalists – packed into the tiny chapel.



    With little room inside, many other mourners waited outside and heard the service relayed on loudspeakers.





    Civil funeral celebrant David Hayes led the service and began by thanking people for the “phenomenal” attendance and read memories of Mr Thompson’s long life.



    Mr Hayes then read the poem High Flight, by John Magee, before recalling the close love between Mr Thompson and his wife Millie, who died in 2004 after 56 years of marriage.



    He then read the poem Flying West, by Michael J. Larkin , which closed by saying Mr Thompson his passed his “last test” and was now in heaven, with his wife and friends.



    One of Mr Thompson’s only remaining friends Joan Hunter made a brief speech to thank attendees.



    She said: “I am pleased you are all here, I would like to thank all of you individually – I am overwhelmed.”



    A young serviceman then played the final salute on the trumpet to tearful attendees and the curtains closed around Mr Thompson’s coffin – which had his service hat, a picture of a young George, and a Union Flag upon it.



    As the mourners left the chapel, We’ll Meet Again, by Dame Vera Lynn, was played.



    After the funeral David Hayes said: “It was an incredible achievement that so many people came to pay tribute to an amazing man.





    “It was an honour to be a part of it and I am so pleased we gave George the send-off he clearly deserved.”



    Mr Thompson, from Sheffield, was in a “reserved occupation” working with wife Mildred at Laycock’s Engineering Works, which made aircraft parts. After numerous attempts he was accepted into the RAF for pilot training aged 24, flying solo just 17 days after he started training on April 13, 1942.





    Mr Thompson and fellow trainees were earmarked to fly bombers and he was sent to Canada and the USA.



    While training with the American Army Air Corps it was discovered he had incredible night vision. He recalled: “We were supposed to be going onto bombers but, when it was recorded about my night-sight, I went onto night fighters. That most likely saved my life because thousands of bomber crew were killed.”





    He and his squadron flew night interception and patrolled the skies above the Burmese jungle looking for any Japanese incursions until VJ Day in August, 1945.



    He was finally demobbed in May 1946 with the rank of Warrant Officer. Mrs Thompson died in 2004. Mr Thompson spent his final years in a care home and died on May 14.

    Does anyone know the reason for there being no sound in anything I watch from 4od in the OnDemand plugin? Everything from the BBC iPlayer and the ITV Player is fine, it's just 4od that there seems to be something wrong with.


    For what it's worth, I've had this same problem since at least the last two previous builds of the old Helios Vix releases as well


    No idea, I use the 4oD part of OnDeamnd quite regularly and have never had any sound issues with it.
