Before you change the image, save the file called "config" from the var/tuxbox/config/enigma folder in your DB to your PC's harddisk.

After you install new image and do a flash erase, copy this file to where it was before; var/tuxbox/config/enigma

Now reboot box, BUT, AND THIS IS VEEEEEERY IMPORTANT, DO NOT REBOOT WITH THE RESET BUTTON ON THE REMOTE,
BUT UNPLUG THE BOX FROM THE MAINS AND PLUG IT BACK IN.

Now put your channel settings in and reboot again and all your sat positions, time zone, osd and lcd colour settings, etc
will be like your previous image.

P.S. Sorry for CAPS above but that one step is very important, if you do it differently it won't work!

This part of the config file holds the satellite positions data.
