I have just been reading my manual for my solo2 (a rare thing indeed LOL). Because i want to do a factory reset as i keep having problems with my box and openpli 4. But it isn't clear if i do the reset will it leave my hard drive recordings and films alone... i wouldn't want to loose all the stuff i have on it anyone know for sure please??? thanks guys.

Why not try backing up your recordings, on your PC, just to be safe?
Connect using Filezilla then look for the HDD folder, also the media folder, which also contains the HDD movie folder.

A factory reset shouldn't affect the hard drive, only formatting it should do that. The only problem might be whether any new image recognizes the recordings, and hard drive, without having to initialize it.
Do you plan on using the same image, after the factory reset?
Never tried a factory reset but I did update my image, via the USB, and the recordings remained, but I did use the same image, Black Hole, just the latest version.

yes i don't think that's a problem as i have had Vix, black hole, openpli and openspa on and all recognize the films, I do like vix very much and openspa is pretty good as well but cannot get it to work with BISS on 27.5w

All that factory reset does is return the current image to its default state. It's almost the same as doing a reflash but not as clean.

BTW, have you got the Spanish TDT from sat working on the Solo2?

Flash with OpenViX should return it to factory boot logo too.

No i haven't seen anywhere where someone thinks it can be done and i have looked I ended up having to buy a sat box specially for satellite cost me 200€ but had no choice as we live in what they call the the sombra (the shade LOL) but what it means is we don't get any TV signals at all you have to prove you can't before you get one and then they have to switch it on from Madrid i think... there are no phone lines here we can just get a little bit of mobile signal. Our water is from the mountain.. So we are out in wilds as you can imagine half way up a mountain........
