***********************************************
Transferring the new 'boot' photo to the Dreambox.
ENSURE that the image that you want to change the boot/radio background pictures for, is the image RUNNING in the Dreambox when editing.
Before we start, as usual, suggest that you make a back up of the image you intend to edit so that is all goes pear shaped, you can simply reinstall the backed up image.....basic but a life saver at times!!!
With the image, that you want to change the boot photo for, running in the Dreambox, open your chosen FTP prog and transfer your new 'bild' file to the path: 'root/platform/kernel', you can overwrite or delete the pevious 'bild' file that exists.
Exit your FTP prog and reboot the Dreambox.
You should, if all ok, see your new photo on the next boot.

Note: it is 'radio.mvi' and NOT '.m1v' (this is the extension that appears by default). *see attachment to clarify.
