My new VU+ Uno

if you want to get a feel of what the box can do,, try one of my backup images to start,,only until you get an idea of what they are capable of..
Once you feel comfortable managing around it then go for a clean image then addon whatever interests you ..
there are so many options with this stb that you will be spoilt for choice ;)

Have a read of this link,it's a good starting place,it's written for the duo but the uno is very similiar,you don't have to use vix but for your first image it is worth a look.

Before installing a image you should do a FPGA update from the menu, just to be shure.

Have a look here:

This is for the duo,but you flash a new image on exactly the same way for a uno.

if you want to install any image ,,tehn download the zip or rar file.. decompress it , inside you will find a folder named vu ,
inside this vu folder there are 2 files( if its a backup) or 3 or 4 files if its a full clean image..
you want to get the vu folder( with the files inside it) onto a usb pendrive,
switch the box off from the backswitch,
stick the pen into the front usb,
switch the box back on from the backswitch,
hold the channel - button until it says reading usb ,
then let go button and it will auto install
once it is finished the box will tell you to unplug the usb stick and full restart box(meaning switch off from backswitch again for about 10 secs then back on again..
be patient ,it will take a few mins to start up initially.
At this point you will more than probably have to setup the IP etc for it to connect to the internet..

you will more than likely have to update the channel settings also.
you do this by going into MENU -> TS PANEL-> ADDONS->linuxsat-support-> CHANNEL SETTINGS-> CATSEYE latest( 20/10/2012 i think)
the box will restart itself and you will have an up to date channel list..pressing the blue button will take you to favourites...

to make a full image backup..
have a usb stick in the back of the uno
press blue button twice it will take you to extra settings.
devices manager -> you should see your usb stick ,
press red button to MOUNT ,use left/right arrows to "map " the usb stick to MOUNT: /MEDIA/USB
save
reboot the uno......
Now , MENU-> BH main menu : BH FULL BACKUP
this will take between 5- 7 minutes...
it will let you know when its finished..
then go through DCC to FTP
MEDIA folder ,inside this you will see USB folder and inside here you will see 2 backups : BACKUP VU UNO and another one with the date I think.
either one of these will do you...
FTP the backup to wherever you want to save it for future use..
This backup will keep everything ,emus, settings, configs,etc...
just remember the password that yuo had on this backup and you are done
job finished ;)
