I went to the inner portal last night and it automatically downloaded the R18 file, but did not work great, going back to R14.

[Rinny]

thnx Rinny

0.2.18-r18 loaded and seems fine.
I never had issues with the r14 or r17 either thou.

Will leave this r18 onboard
We will have to wait upon the release notes for update info

running r18 after changing channel couple of times box locks up and have to pull power cord to reset

[Rinny]

Tested r17 and r18 its the server acting up at the moment...Once the server up and running 100% r18 file should be fine..

[Tom Matthews]

Well, I have been having problems as above. Loaded new file r18 and had loading error. Noticed that r18 is really not finalized. Am going back to r14.....had no problems with that....time will tell Amen to that!

I feel for you! Honestly going forward if you decide to get new boxes at some point go with a box you control and can put other things on. With a Mag box your stuck when things like this happen or go down, atleast with a box you control you can watch other things. Kodi can be a nice alternative when issues happen. I know some don't like to deal with it but once it's setup it's easy to use and you can always find something to watch. Now iptv providers allow many ways to connect so your not stuck using a STB that you cannot control. Of course that doesn't help with you situation now but maybe once you look for new hardware you might be able to sell the mags you have?
