all channel lists ( bouquets ) and plugins that work on other e2 receivers will work on these, except where hardware differences and image differences come into play.

Help Please!

Since using the 3.0 version of ViX on my Vu+ Solo I have had continual freezing of encrypted channels and so wished to go back to 2.4 which worked fine.

What I'm having an issue with is when I try to reflash my box down it's not having it. I place my USB stick in the box (I've used the stick numerous times so
know it's formatted right), press reset on the back, I get a red button on the box but before the stick can do it's job, I get a green light on the box and it boots
up with 3.0 every time. I read Cazuela's post elsewhere about trying an original ViX image before flashing with an image of choice but again I can't even flash
an original version, it ignores the stick and boots up in 3.0.

Any ideas guys? Am I missing something? Thanks in advance. I really should be enjoying the sun outside but I need to get this
sorted for tonight's boxing on Sly.

what skin are you using ?

andy has worked a few tweaks him self for this with the ViX image as can be seen here.

Dream Elite staff wants to propose a new update for the DE 4.0 with enigma 2.0
In this update you will find an EPG patch to make up for the lack of EPG for the Italian providers, awaiting that Dream-Multimedia fix definitively the problem, both for the EPG and DTT using USB tuner.
Therefore Dream Elite staff has create this patch using DE-EPG, to allow you to use the EPG on the Italian providers.

because its partitioned off and not accessible to the user, why report memory that is not accessible ?.

for example here are the same commands run on my ultimo which has 1GB of ram but not all of that is accessible to the user.

i forget the exact technical specs at present but the receiver does have the stated 512MB ram and as i said part of this is withheld from the user for core functions.

with the cat /proc/meminfo command via telnet.

i got my info via a telnet session using the df -h command. and yes the uno does have the stated 512MB ram but part of that is reserved for core functions of the receiver in the same way that the ultimo has 1GB of ram but half is reserved for core functions and later use.

the uno has more than adequate ram but images such as BH and VTI that are based on the OI firmware are very large and in some cases almost double that of other pli / pli based images.

these are my stats with the vix 3.0-262 image

the EPG it self once running is held in live memory and only written to storage or read from on bootup or shutdown. i recommend either USB or HDD as perfect locations for EPG but dont use flash because EPG data can easily corrupt and grow huge filling up the flash very rapidly.

i would personally just reflash the receiver than trying to empty the flash, then start again. also make sure your EPG is not set to the flash as this can easily go wrong and cause this problem.

you have filled your flash. which is not good for the health of the image.

They only did light versions for the duo and uno. technically the ultimo has more than enough ram that it should not make any difference performance wise.

make sure you have a accurate satellites.xml file.

go here to create one and select "active" transponders only

www.satellites-xml.org

also make sure if you are using the latest drivers you have also updated the FPGA as this is a critical update for the tuners of the Uno and Ultimo.
