[QUOTE="Tony Daly, post: 1101029, member: 402465"] Put OpenAtv in slot two of the SF8008 last night just to try it out. It installed fine & the receiver rebooted but it crashed during the setup process when I choose 1080 screen resolution. Screen just went blank & no remote buttons would work. Had to switch the receiver off at the back. When I switched it on again it tried to boot & reached 50 on the receivers screen. Eventually it reached 100 but nothing further. Eventually I held down the start button on the receiver front while switching it on at the back. I got a screen which gave me a list of choices. I picked recovery I think ? & this gave me a list of the two images installed, OpenVix & OpenAtv. I was too scared at that stage so I choose OpenVix & the receiver rebooted into OpenVix with my original settings. I rebooted the receiver again just to make sure everything was ok & I left it at that. I have no idea what happened with OpenAtv & I'm very reluctant to try again in case I make a mess of it. This was the tutorial I was trying to follow. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.linuxsat-support.com/cms/attachment/105600-guide-to-setup-multi-boot-on-the-octagon-sf8008-pdf/[/URL] I found the receiver didn't show up the Micro SD card I inserted at the back of the receiver even though I followed the tutorial. Maybe its because I have a Usb key inserted in the rear Usb socket where my picons & backups are stored ? Tony. [/QUOTE]
