I bought one of these units for under 50 bucks about 6 months ago. I bricked it, and it took me another 3 months to find the right guide on how to re-image the device and get it back working. I figured i could post some things here to help anyone that might have one of these devices.
It has 2 DVBS2 tuners on it.
It handles the HEVC h.265 codec.
First off, if you buy one of these things. Make a Image backup should you accidentally brick it. This device is very finicky about the USB flash drives it will support. As it turned out, i got a cheap USB flash drive when i went on a rafting trip, and they included the flash drive with my rafting pictures on it. Label that flash drive and use it just for the AXAS STB.
Here is a link to a raw image should you brick your unit :
Code:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tbLAEmZI6k0AWiaCkdleH8a6LoYoLqLw/view
The USB drive should be formatted fat32.
The files should be uncompressed and copied to the flash drive and have a folder structure like : e2\update\

To access the image restore feature on the box, hold down the GREEN key when you power it on, or hold down the POWER button when you power it on.
I would like to mention that if you don't have a detectable USB drive, you will NEVER see the 'Updt' : Update text on the Axas front screen. So, if you can't get the Update on the frong panel, try another USB flash drive. If your seeing the 'Updt' on the screen but it doesn't appear to work, or reboots quickly, then your files are not correctly placed in the right folder structure.
Once you back-up your own image, you could then restore directly to that, should you brick the unit in the future. I made a image backup and it made a .zip file that has the same files that were found in the update folder of the raw image.
