Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    @Gery Wickolw. Okay, thanks. So I could just get the factory version and flash NewClareman's image directly?.

    Yes, it is easy to convert from the factory version, instructions here. Note: you need to flash one of my old backups first, take your pick.
    You can then flash the most recent image, see here, for instructions. I recommend this as it has a greater range of channels, by default, including the +1’s.

    I understand re the dongle, I was just wondering if the box had WiFi built in. Is a good connection useful for much other than streaming?
    WiFi is not built in and dongles are barely usable, for configuration only. If you are forced to use WiFi, use any dongle with a LAN port. LIDL had some last week, that may still be available. They work ok, but not as well as power line adapters.

    A good connection can be used to view the EPG, control the box remotely, view channels on tablets, view IPTV, download covers for music and films, view IMDB info for films, Internet radio, all available by default, with my image.
    Lots of more options can be used, if you have the time and inclination to install and test the wide range of plugins.

    @Stuckness,many boxes have power issues and maybe you have a faulty power supply?
    No box will work straight out of the box as usually a few things need to be setup as we all dont live in the same spot.
    Is it easy to run a long lan cable from router to box,or as said powerline adapters will work on the same ring but if on a different ring they wont connect.

    I’m not sure what you mean by “one ring”, maybe you could clarify. (Powerline adapters need to be on the same mains phase, but apart from that, I’m not aware of any other limitation, from a single distribution panel.)

    Yes as you say " same main phase " ring/circuit as mine was not .I did add another 2 homeplugs at the time but replaced now with direct lan cables and switches.
