just one of them depends on your box 1x or 2x i want to see the suprise as well...m

As said above, the 2 downloads are for 1x and 2x. You need to ge the right file.

There may not be a set your location on the current image you have, it only came along this year I think.

If your box is working fine at the minute then it would be best to do the following.

FTP the Keys folder from your current image to your pc for safe keeping as you will need to ut it back on new image cos it is FTA only.
Go to /var/tuxbox/config and transfer the Zapit folder from your current image to your pc cos it holds your services and bouquets and you will need to ftp that back to new image aswell.

Whether you choose to use Laky-Sylas image is up to you, it has great quality and is very fast when switching channels. I always try every image just to see what its like but I always have a backup of my favorite image so I can restore it if I want to.

Its a dreambox but you posted in the dbox section so forget what I said above as it does not apply to dreambox.

Also the image with the surprise is Laky-sylas and is a dbox image so no good to you.

Thats why you cant find set my location in blue button.

Dreambox and Dbox are different systems. Have a good look in the dreambox section below, it has all you need to know especialy in the red stickie area at the top.

Would leave it weel alone mate. I flashed my box yesterday and had a small 2 second power cut. It ended up frying my box. I cannot flash it using IFA or anything now. It has about as much use a used condom. I would leave it well alone

Don't think it was the fault of the new image PB it's more like the power cut has corrupted your linux software, it may be that you will have to reset the box to debug mode, see attachment.

Hope I've done this correctly. If not could mods please help.
