OpenATV update Octagon SF8008

[gdmm]

A less than technical mate of mine is trying to update his receiver via Software Manager > Flash Online. He is getting a message Flash Online is empty.

Is there another way of doing this?

You could flash by usb stick

1) Download latest Enigma2 Image of your choice.
2) USB 2.0or 3.0 minimum 2 GB USB stick formatted with FAT32.
3) Unpack the image and copy BOTH the 'octagon' folder and the 'usb_update.bin' to root of the USB stick.
4) Turn off the box.
5) Plug the USB stick into the USB 3.0 port on the right side.
6) Press and hold the standby button and power on the box until "Updt" is displayed.
6) Select "Recovery From USB" from TV screen menu.
7) Box restarts when update is completed.

do you not need the default skin on Open ATV for it to show online flash?
