No channels after Blackhole upgrade

Hi,
I have installed Blackhole image 3.0.1C for the first time, I previously had a Vix image which I have worked with for a few years. The link I used is the one from Lorenzo64 on 30th Nov 2015.
All of the set up seemed to be fine, I can connect via FTP, Network setup OK, downloaded channels automatically which seemed to scan fine (clear before scan first).
Both tuners setup to simple/single mode/Astra 28.2E/Send DiSEqC to no (all same as I did on Vix).
But now the Vuplus Duo will only boot up to a blue Blackhole, starting GUI screen, I can't get the channels to display even though they seemed to download OK (900 odd channels), the tuners and connections are fine as work well with the Vix image.

Can anyone help, have I missed something obvious, thanks in advance.
Rich

Thanks for the replies, the Vuplus box is definitely genuine, last night I reflashed Vix back again to the latest image and all channels appeared straight away. The reason for trying black hole was occasional freezing on recordings and the intermittent write error disk full messages, the drive is not full and the box only requires a reboot to cure.....until the next time it happens, it seems from forums people have tried blackhole and not had an issue.
I have tried to load an extra IPK file, and the C-line but this should not have an impact as I should get the standard channels without even getting that far, is that correct? especially if they appear to scan OK.
I will give the blackhole image another go and post back.

I'm having this same issue BH 3.0.1 on my vu + zero box. Over 950 services found during service scan, but then I cant actually get onto any of the channels. Just the blue screen. Am I missing a step in the process here?

Figured out it was because I was in the favourites list, and I don't have any favourites set at the moment. I pressed the red button to display ALL channels which solved the issue. Just need to figure out bouquets now, as none of my channels appear to be assigned to a channel number, only listed in alphabetical order.

When in the channel list press the menu button and set up some Bouquets, you can name them whatever you want, similar to composingt message.
Once set up, scroll through your channels, again in the list view, when you reach one you want to add,to a Bouquet, click on Menu and add channel to Bouquet.
You can also use software, like dreamboxedit, to do this.

Thanks, I'll have a go at that later.
