morning.. ok update:
i downloaded .xml (sats) and extracted via rar and saved it as is, so when both boxes on dcc open there were 2 arrows in the middle pointing either way... so i opened /etc and tubox.. then saw the same file in the vu+ so i clicked on the new one in the pc window and pressed the arrow left.. asked if i wanted to replace existing file so i pressed yes.
all seemed ok, thought i had the new sat list...
problems.. now...
prior to doing that i went into vti panel and set up epg.. that was it... i basically set up to download at 5.45 and sources to uk xmltv
before testing epg, i then did the sat.xml thing above and when it seemed to all be ok, i terminated the ftp session..
i then switched the vu+ off from the rear.. big mistake i think.. as i reckon to reload, i should have just pressed off on remote, hence upon switching on from rear and reload, it was stuck on the 'loading defaults' for ages
then it said 2497 epg something found and gave me a yes/no option so i said yes and it repeated the whole thing and then locked in the start up screen... i was able to press menu on remote and go into settings where i tried to restore the image i had backed up... no luck.. it was not restoring!
so at the minute screen is stuck in start up mode vti splash image says 'loading defaults'... no tv, nothing.. sats are there, transponders etc.. all stored, dunno about channels etc... i can press menu on remote and enter vu+ settings etc and vti panel.. but restore not working, i did back image up though...
i just left it on auto search and went to bed.. got up at 7 and it was still searching 190ish channels found on a sat i dont 26e?! lol! not one i have..
so can anybody kindly help me to restore the box now please? if i was to now upgrade the image, would i lose all my satellite settings? not something id like to lose, but i read that if i did a factory reset it would be just that?!!
thanx in advance guys.. ;-)
