    Go to [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

    then select the state, then the city, then highlight the url displayed in your browser and the last seven digits displayed will be the ID number for your city.

    Next time you have Vix loaded with the skin you want, go to the systems menu and find the skins preferences and you'll see which skin is loaded and its name.

    OpenATV releases an image upgrade almost nightly. This allows anybody that wants to beta test the opportunity to do so.

    OpenVix only releases approved images that have been tested by a select group. OpenVix does not normally release nightly builds.

    I think OpenVix is the best image for the beginner in North America.

    I decided to go back to OpenVix, much more user friendly for me. I have also decided to use my solo2 for ku band as well.

    Later, you might want to play with multiboot. I keep a stable image in flash (Vix or NFR) and test all others via the usb stick. For me it's easier and faster to reboot to another working image from a usb stick than flashing and restoring settings.

    Another reason for me using multiboot, I backup picons, some skins old and new and some other settings that would take a long time to restore after a flash. The only time I'll change the flash image is when it necessitates loading a new version that won't upgrade via online.

    Makes it easier for me in case something goes sour, the only thing affected is the usb stick image being used.
