    That plugin is good but far from great, i cant seem to stream a video thats been downloaded from itunes to the tv but i can stream all videos ive recorded and youtube.


    All you need to do is run the plugin then restart reciever once you do that you'll notice on your idevice when watching a video a smalll box to the right of the volume bar with a triangle in it press it and choose airplayer e2.


    No app required on your idevice.


    Have fun

    Does anyone know if there is channel list for these recievers or just have to load channels the old way scanning each sat?


    thanks

    Has anyone ever tried connecting a Plextor PX-B120U USB 2.0 Blu-Ray Optical Drive to a sat reciever via USB?


    I see in the menu on my Vu+ Duo Blackhole image 1.7.3. there is a dvd device icon you can click on, if i was to buy one of these player would I be able to play blurays/dvd through my Vu+ or not?

    got the same problem since yesterday on a dm800hd clone, switched it on for the first time in a few days and it sounded like a bike with something in the spokes really bloody noisey.
    Have you looked at rs or maplin m8 they may have a good range of fans.


    good luck sorting it

    I will check and make good all connections, and change the output to the spare on the quad, never here anyone else complain so as you say I doubt very much it's the tunner B in the duo.
    Maybe the output on the lnb is damaged from damaged cable I found originally maybe the short weakened the lnb.


    Will report my findings as I find time to fidle.

    Well this was the first time I really used the recorded feature and watch the footy and after the match I went back to the recorded programme to watch it and it was not possible it was braking up terribly as if the signal on that tuner was really low.
    I have today updated the receiver to BH 1.7.3 so will give that a go if this fails the only thing I can think to change before blaming a possible faulty tunner is the new inverto ultra quad LNB they have been known to be faulty before.

    It is now sorted I got my sat meter on cable A it showed 75% signal and 90% quality. Put it on cable B 0% signal 45% quality .
    The brand new rg6 cable off the roll had a brake in it well it must have as I have now rewired cable B and all is well and the same signal and quality as cable A.

    Image is BH 1.7.2 I have only had the box for 2 weeks the only thing I have done is fitted two new coax cables from the dish and a new inverto ultra quad lnb.

    Hello all,


    Got a very funny problem with my new Vu recording one channel and watching another.
    Is it right that if I'm watching an encrypted channel I can not record another encrypted channel of a different provider on the same sat?


    What I found is I tried to record a footy match on the weekend on timer when I got in during the second half the receiver was recording the channel but when played it back it was just a black screen. But I could watch the same ch fine on the tv from tuner A.


    I have also noticed this whilst using my iPad and iPhone using dreambox live app all I get is black screen but if I flick to the channel on tuner A on the tv then tuner B will kick in on the ipad and I can view the channel and change to whatever I like on the tv using tuner A afterwards.


    Sorry for the jackanory hope it makes sense.

    Is it possible to password protect the media that is recorded on to the hard disk drive on my Vu+?
    I have two young kids that are slowly becoming more advanced with technology then there dad and I wouldn't want them seeing anything they shouldn't .
    I have managed to password protect the setup and the adult channels but there does not seem to be away to password protect HDD media content.


    Maybe a plugin out there?


    Cheers

    I am selling my new VU+ Solo that i won on this months Bonus Ball on this great Sat Forum.
    The Reason i am selling it is after only having it for a week i am hooked and have decided to upgrade to a VU+ Duo to replace my DM800HD which will then take the place of my solo in the spare room.


    I would like £180 and i will pay the postage cost to the buyer. (I will only cover cost or UK shipping)


    ths truely is a super little box and having only switched it on three times i'm hooked on VU+ now.


    It will come with a full 12 months warranty.


    For anyone that feels they should be buying off the sponsers well i can assure you once this is sold i will be buying a VU+ Duo off them so they are not being left out at all!


    Payment can be made via paypal, cheque or cash on collection from N W Wales.


    the reciever comes with the very latest blackhole image which is said to be stable and fast. but i can add whatever image you would like!
