NOTE: This is a very technical receiver with many options to change settings.
Be careful, in the hands of children whom could fiddle could leave the receiver
not operable. DONT UPDATE to another image Via USB. You will loose all the
NZ setup of channels, SKY card reading and plugins. It will take you many
hours even if experienced to get back to the same configuration. Some
images are destructive and not compatible with this receiver and don’t
have the On Demand plugin, the Info and EPG screen features. To
SAFELY update the VIX image and plugins. Menu / Setup / Software update.
You will retain all the setup settings and channels.
1. In the MENU NEVER do a FACTORY RESET as you could loose all NZ
functions and settings on the receiver. Also all NZ channels will be deleted
and there will be no NZ beamed Satellites listed, only European Channels.
Note you will NOT be able to receive any of these Satellites in NZ.
2. One of the selections in Scan mode can be destructive. Non technical
users Dont BLIND SCAN use Manual Scan unless you are a professional
installer, have had experience in Satellite receiver setups, have a very large
dish and are scanning for another Satellite positioned at a different angle in the
heavens, of which we have not programmed in for NZ.
