Cancel the update screen or you'll lose your new channel list.
The '2 minute update' is actually only updating the EPG as far as I am aware, and definitely not affecting the channel list.

main reason for asking is that it appears to upload into the box, "burn" etc, and the STB restarts- and does the "two minute update"- and then the channel list is the same as before.....
yes- tried again and interrupted the update screen- to no avail. It even knocked out BBC HD and certainly no sign of the long lost BBC1HD which I haven't had on my screen for months.
The '2 minute update' only appears after a 'Factory Reset', not after a channel list update, so have you done a Factory Reset afterwards as well ?
Also, have you by any chance done a
USB Write at some point and overwritten my Channel List file. Look at the file on the USB stick via a PC, if there is no date against it, then that has been written by the P+ and therefore only holds your original channels?
So lets try and resolve this - Firstly, is your P+ up to date with Loader (v1.5) and Firmware (v1.30). If not, update those first and then do a Factory Reset before updating the channel list. It might be worth doing a Factory Reset anyway, just to clear out any possible gremlins that are lurking in there. After a Reset, amend any System Settings accordingly ie video, time etc. Also I recommend
UK 7day EPG is set to
ON, and
Logical Channel Number/Automatic Channel Rename/Power Search Mode set to
OFF
Next, do the channel list update. I always do it via the Menu rather than as a 'cold reboot' process (ie power on with the USB stick inserted, and use panel buttons to update)
I have attached some instructions for updating the channel list via the Menu. Do
NOT do a Factory Reset after this process ! There should
NOT be a '2 Minute update' message after reboot.
I also update Loader and Firmware this way as well, but by selecting
System Update rather than
Channel Data Transfer
