    Factory reset from front panel?

    On 2 different 9100s I've consistently failed to do a factory reset from the front panel, but can do so from the menu. Has anyone else had this problem? I've been holding in the CH+ button while switching on the rocker switch at the back (same procedure as a forced update on a S*y box, using the backup button). The receivers just lock up, with 4 dashes on the front, but boot normally when the mains is switched off/on again. Should the result be the same whether the reset is done from the front or through the menu, or is a front panel reset more "thorough" in some way?

    Have always done mine from the menu.

    I try to keep the physical switching on & off to a minimum as thats most likely to lead to a PSU blowup, or am I worrying about nothing?

    Thanks for the reply, Peggle - and I'm sure you're right! If you've had no problem doing the resets from the menu, that's good enough for me. Still intrigued as to why I can't do the same from the front panel, though, and could be useful if there's a disaster loading software at any time.

    kEEP IT TO A MINIMUM this box needs more rebooting than any I have seen before
    Using UR8 beta 5 here, cc cam 1.71 and mgcam 123
    I hope they release some stable stuff or soon we will see a lot of kaput boxes.

    "needs more rebooting than any I have seen before" .........Have you had a Visionnet, A? Joking apart, it's one thing re-booting, another switcing the mains off/on, as far as the P.S. is concerned. I'd still like to see mine rset from the front panel though, just once!

    thanks for the rteply, A. That's what I've been doing. Mains off, hold CH+ button in , mains o0n, still keep CH+ button in, and wait .........nothing happens, no black screen, just 4 dashes on the front. Even when you release the CH+ button, still the same. Power off/on, and it boots normally!

    if you have this connected via rf you will not get anything as the tuner does not initialize until boot.

    connect via scart or phono's to see the boot screen

    For me it was stuck trying to load the front screen Just the UR image in grey would appear and then go off and reappear so this is what I tried AS I could not connect or load or do anything with it.
