is that the best image to get the best of all available channels ?? an is it as simple as the previous procdure of replacing the image way i did for the sportster image,
oh an as for the bouquet lol ill definitely remember that next time lol as i had to re-scan an re-edit all my folders an channels again, didnt realise how easy it was to save those files an just load them back after, well fingers crossed my box is still scanning with the new sportster image an ill see how it goes,
jus another curiousity. if i save my bouquet an channel files from the sportster image an then change the image to the new lincsat one, will those same files work an load everything as normal, or wud be better off doing a whole new scan after the lincsat image is loaded as im assuming i may pick some other channels wich mite have nor been on the other image ?

Maybe the Lincsat image has changed the IP address to a different address to the one you expected it to be? Check on the network setup for the IP address and then you should be able to connect to the 'new' address.

(I hope thats clear? What I mean is you need to go to the setup menu on the Dbox, to go network, then view the IP address, then try connecting your FTP software to that address)
