    First we need to know exactly what setup you have Dish, motor and LNB wise so that we can correctly recomend what settings you need to use.


    for example.


    Dish Fixed on 28.2 east, LNB octo.
    or
    Dish 80cm motorized, LNB quad.


    at the moment were all just guessing as to your setup and that helps no one at all.

    Secondly - Image manager is where you backup an existing image, not update your image, however if you update your image it tries to save your settings, therefore if there is a problem with your device, you should look at this issue as well.


    To update your image, press menu - select setup then select Software update.


    It would be a good idea to check the storage devices attached to your system as well - if you go menu - Information - Devices, then you will see the detected devices. If you need to initialise or format your device you need to do menu - setup - System - Hard disk. Here you can do a filesystem check, and initialise your hard drive.


    well from Build 668 you can indeed flash the receiver or restore a full image backup directly from the Image manager.

    Where are you trying to download the image to ? Ideally it should be to a USB stick or mounted HDD and never the internal flash.


    When in the image manager hit menu and change the path using the left and right buttons accordingly.

    if your currently on Build 668 then i'd recommend making a settings backup of your current setup via the backup manager, then using the image manager download the latest stable image and flash that directly from the image manager. When the receiver has flashed and rebooted you can restore the settings backup from within the FIW ( first install wizard ). The whole process should take around 10 minutes from start to finish.


    I have included Two tutorials. one for making a image backup ( the process of making a settings backup is identical to a image backup but uses the backup manager rather that the image backup ), The other tutorial shows how to use the image manager to download a image and flash the receiver.

    Third option.


    make a settings backup in the backup manager, then open the image manager and download the latest image directly from there and restore it from within the image manager too, then when the receiver reboots you can either decide to setup from scratch or restore the settings backup made earlier.


    I forgot the forth option.

    From build 668 onwards you can flash the image directly from within the Image Manger on the receiver it self ( In ViX ), you can use this to flash personal backups or virgin state images downloaded directly from the image manager it self in under 2 minutes without needing to use a USB stick.
