  • Wow I thought this was gonna be straight forward.
    I got my new Vu+ Solo2 Box today (I must say that it was smaller than I thought it was gonna be from the pictures that I had seen, anyway..)
    It came preloaded with the Black Hole image preinstalled (at my request I might add because from the research that I did prior to the purchase it seemed to be the most popular. I don't even know why I requested that cos I normally like to learn how to do things for myself.)
    So first thing I did after setting it up with the cables from my *** dish was to power it on and see what the fastest twin PVR on earth could do.
    Erm well ok.. It took a while to setup the automatic scan and then took even longer for the scan to complete. Why you may ask? Well I had no clue what to do cos you see... there are two tuners and guess what my *** dish had two leads formerly plugged in the back of it. I my mind, the first lead will feed tuner A and the second will feed tuner b. Well if that’s the case (since I wanna get some 3'oclock football matches eventually) let me setup tuner A for Astra 28.2e and Hotbird and tuner B for Alsat and some other random one. I should mention that the dish I have is the standard dish and as you may have guessed it’s not motorised (I think is should insert lol here but some of you may find me to be rather pathetic so delete lol)
    Okay where was I so as you may have guessed that didn’t work out too good I did manage eventually to get somewhere after and btw tuner b was not configured.
    Okay so that was done channels all in alphabetical order some numbered or with no name. (Oh yeah as I am typing I am doing an auto scan for channels and I type like 10 words a min so you can imagine.. OMG why does it take soo long)


    Okay so I have FTA channels nice. Next step I want to use my existing card in my new box this surely must be plug n play. I hold my breath in anticipation as I insert my card ( which took a couple of attempts didn’t realise I had to push a bit hard for it to go all the way in no wonder I couldn’t close it lol) still holding my breath as I begin to scan for channels but Oh No just a blank screen no sound back to Google to ask how I can use my existing card in a new box. Well at least I am not the only one as the question has been asked before and the answer has something to do with CCcams. As much as I have read I still don’t really get CCcams but what I understand is this:


    In laymen’s terms CCcams allow your box to read cards it’s not designed for (Please correct me if I am wrong)


    More to come in part 2 inc CCcams (what fun I can't wait ;)

  • I cant really help you with Blackhole image m8, but I got mine Thursday morning & had it up & running with installed HDD within an hour, Its pretty user friendly and all the tuts for the VU+ Duo would be a good starting point..
    If you just want to get your clines working through cccam, simply connect to your box with VU+ Control Center, Launch FTP, browse to /etc/CCcam.cfg and add your clines to the bottom of the CCcam.cfg file.
    Now you have to make sure CCcam is starting up when the box starts.
    On the image I use which is ViX backup by mrgmx

    I have to go to Menu/Setup/SoftCam-CI on the VU+ Munu
    Then open Softcam Manager, then select CCcam with the OK button (This starts CCcam)
    Finally, after the cccam loads, hit the blue button to enable CCcam to start up with the Box.


    OOpz, Just noticed that you want to use your own Sly Card, so for this you will need to startup OScam (Same as above) and you will have to use the search feature on top right to find all the settings/configs for ***UK.


    Good Luck m8.

    It has Oscam/Cccam combo package for sharing/using card in reciever


    You will need to access the config files and change them accordingly using the following posts
