Just bought Vu Duo + Some Help Please ??

I Have taken the plunge and decided to get myself a decent box once and for all and no longer use my trusty Spiderbox LOL !!!

I have Ubuntu Server and will still use for a little while but not sure wether to keep se**er and start using vu also for this but until then am just gonna connect it to vu duo.

I need to sort out motorised setting and cccam any advice on what to do first and whats best , apologies for standard questions just dont want to do anything wrong lol ??

Thanks
carmine

thanks andy ray thats very kind and no offence taken lol
i`ve read that the vu duo is stable but think also that my old ubuntu se**er has been very stable

If you do use the Vu+ Duo as a server then a good place to start re images is the ViX - as it has a cam stop check script that works well - and you will find that you will have few issues with this. There are ways to get check scripts on other images - but to save messing around it is probably an idea to start with that.

Hi Muso.

longtime no hear lol

how many shares do you think i can use safely with stb 30 40 ??

so put it inside the cupboard or you mean that "she doesnt understand why that thing has to be left on all night"!! out of the way??
Think ofthe odds weighed against moving server :An stb will never be as good/strong/stable as a pc server , you won´t be able to "try out new plugins,etc without disrupting service"
rebooting,when necessary will have to be programmed at/during the .am , when "she" takes over the R.C , which "she" will,
you will have lost the basic reason of what this is all about: hobby + fun!!
Now the choice is yours,,but don´t say we didn´t tell you so!!!
Muso already answered that question: Vix is "the dummies" as you call it , first image to try out..
Start reading all the vu support posts and you´ll get a much clearer + better "picture" of it all ;)

Hi Caz,

Yeah wont tell her you said so lol !!! I may move it upstairs in wardrobe and work it wirelessly that might be an option.

Something to think about carmine, an old netbook with a cracked screen would do the job just as well as what sounds like a huge tower you are using at the moment & so much more easy to hide, it will also run alot quieter.

Thats a good idea

Quote from rikjaard-real

Hard to believe they completely overlooked the RF out option ! Its expensive carmine but you could buy HD over coax solution ! Gonna be almost as much as what the new box just cost though :waaaht:
HDMI over Single Coax RG6 CT100 Cable Extender

Thats way too much surely there`s a cheaper way ??
also cant seem to find option for changing hd ie 560 720 1080 ???
