Vix4E2 Backup Image Fast!

Hi seen many image backups on here which I have used and are very good.
I recently came across the Vix4E2 image on this sit so many thanks to Lincsats for this.
I found this image to be the best in terms of speed and reliability for me personally.
I have decided to upload my own backup version of the image, which I have edited to my needs and which I think will help many other users.

I only use the box as a satellite receiver and to watch and record TV channels, I have kept it simple and not installed many of the other add-ons available as I feel it slows these boxes down.

Extract the file I have uploaded and insert on the root of a USB stick. Make sure the box is off and insert the USB into the back of the box and turn on, it should then start installing the image.
After about 10-15 mins the image should be installed and boot up. Its best to turn off the box after its booted up and to remove the USB you used for flashing.
Insert your hard drive/usb that you will be using for the zgemma. You should then initialise your hard drive/usb and also create a swap file. Once you have done that restart the box.

The image includes Cache Flush, the Blue HD skin and latest auto-bouquets maker from the openvix 3.2.003 image which includes the BT Sports Interactive Channels.
It is currently set at 720p in AV Settings but you can choose to set it to what your TV Supports.
Also if OSD is not fully showing on your screen go into user interface, position setup and set it to fit your screen.
For auto-bouquets maker you may need to change the settings for your own location and also change which bouquets you want to show/hide.
Cross EPG and Auto Bouquets are set to auto update daily at around 6:00am.
CCam 2.3.0 and Mgcamd 1.38 have been installed. If using CCam transfer your cfg file to var/etc or for mgcamd transfer your list file usr/keys.
Also using lincsats post the feeds have been reinstalled but not all plugins may be compatible so use with caution.

I may have missed a few things out or not gone into full detail but this is my first backup image upload. I would like to say thanks to all the posts on this site as they have been a great help. I just want to give back with my own settings on the image which I think work best and hope it can help others getting their boxes setup.

I can't get this image to flash, same USB stick as I use for sucmnsee's image but just boots up as normal and won't display flash on the display. What am I doing wrong??
 
I've managed to flash it now but when I press EPG there is just the full guide no bouquets like sports and movies etc
 
,,the feeds have been reinstalled but not all plugins may be compatible so use with caution.,,

i thik that mean no....

The plugins are from a different box since the zgemma feeds are no longer available. So plugins do populate but it will also include things like LCD picons which will not work on the zgemma. So plugins such as kodi etc should work and install but just be careful on the plugins you are installing.

Hi if you want it show a selection of bouquets go into setup,system,epg, graphical epg settings, and change show bouquet on launch to yes. This should allow you to select the bouquet you want to show for the epg.
 
Hi skilly,
Did you start with a vanilla/basic version of Vix4E2 and add to it, or did you just take lincsat's version and tweak/uninstall?

If you started with a basic version , then I'd be dead keen on it.

Thanks.

I would have liked to start off with a basic version of the image. The thing was I could not find the original anywhere because it had be discontinued and removed. So yes I used lincsats version but made my own customizations/tweaks to my personal preference.
 
Hi skilly,

I have tried your image but I cant download any plug ins. Why dont you sort and include plug ins? Then your image is worth trying again. Otherwise both images on this site at the moment better and have everything. Please make sure your image have all the downloads so more people can try. Is TS Media working on your image? If not do you have any solution?
 
Of course you can d`load plugins, i`m just after doing it.
This is the best image around why clutter it up with rubbish plugins that don`t half work anyway

I use a FireStick for all that other cr@p.
 
Switched to this Image lastnight after trying LincSat's for a few days, its quick and I like how its trimmed out all the unwanted plugins such as Kodi to make it a Sat top box for viewing\recording, made a few tweaks myself but great image!

One question, using Lincsats image I was able to get the HD version of ITV for my region at channel 103 (Wales) but for some reason using the custom HTV Wales option in ABM I get ITV Central HD instead?

cheers
 
Hi i was wondering if anyone could help me out, I've managed to add a c:line but BT Sports and Setanta are freezing all the time, so someone has advised me to change to mgcamd. I've gone into usr/keys and it has come up with two files, newcamd.list and mg_cfg. I have deleted what was in newcamd.list and added my line, it says it has transferred but the channels aren't on, like my line hasn't been added. Do I have to add something to mg_cfg and if I do what do I need to do? TIA
