new to vu solo2

i find the open atv image works the best but if not install the linux panel plugin that will give you all you need

I would suggest trying out a ready made backup setup image first.
You can try out the plugins,etc that are usually included.
This way you get a quicker ,better feel your way round the box..
For example , this backup made by team member [MENTION=68236]codar[/MENTION] :OpenVix 4.1.016 solo2 backup
Although it is vix , I don´t think you will regret trying it out as it only takes a few minutes to load onto the box.

You will need to add your own personal IP, card configuration and perhaps update the channel list.

is new build ipab.tv based on open avt5.3 only for genuine vuplus sol 2

Ive tried them all and always end up going back to blackhole, along with the linuxsat panel you have everything you need
