  • Boxing This Weekend

    Should be a good weekend of boxing fight fans!


    Tonight it's Frankie Gavin v Denton Vassell for the British & Commonwealth Welterweight Titles at Liverpool Olympia. Catch the action on BoxNation.


    Tomorrow night on SlyTV is another couple of good domestic dust ups; Gavin Rees v Anthony Crolla plus Paul Smith v Tony Dodson. Scott Quigg will
    be in action too. Then in the early hours of Sunday Matthew Macklin takes on the destructive power of Gennady Golovkin.


    I'll go for: Gavin on points, Rees by stoppage bout round 8, Smith on points and Golovkin by stoppage bout round seven.

  • considering a motorised set up

    Definitely go for a motorised set up. If you're a serious TV viewer, it's great. If you just want a toy to see what you can pick up, it's great.


    toothfairy fair play mate, thought I was doing well with a motorised for 16 years. Maybe need a new thread to discuss the good old days.

  • Froch Kessler II

    Lots of options other than S*y Box office if you follow the LJs link at top of the page.
    Should be a great fight, really can't split them. When boxing gets it right ie GENUINE
    top fights between GENUINE top fighters there's not a sport to touch it.


    And try and catch the Tony Bellew weigh-in tomorrow , it'll be more entertaining than his fight!

  • Vu+ Solo Picture Freezing

    Managed to get it up and running, and ok for a week then today lost all clients so reset router. No difference so then reset router and restarted vu+ box and hey effing presto it is stuck once again on the loading screen :ah: What gives with it getting stuck again and again when restarting?

  • Vu+ Solo Picture Freezing

    I swapped back to ViX from Blackhole and before doing so I re-flashed the boot upgrader so to see if it made any difference and hey presto no freezing pictures at all. Sorted or so I thought. This effing box is now at varying stages and for whatever reasons permanantly stuck in the loading screen with the revolving ViX top left corner. Reset button on the back of the receiver makes no difference nor does turning off at the mains. Only thing that works is a re-flash (I'm on my 5th or 6th reflash this morning) and during the re-flash process at some stage it will need to restart itself (ie after installing cccam) and then not restart just the loading screen. I'm a patient guy but jeez something is gonna snap soon. Any ideas please?

  • Vu+ Solo Picture Freezing

    Hiya,


    I have a Vu+ Solo bout two years old now and ever since I updated the ViX image last September from 2.4 to 3.0 I have had freezing pictures on all encrypted
    channels (FTA are all ok). I thought it was one particular share however it freezes on all my shares. I did have trouble downgrading back to 2.4 (I did post a thread
    at the time) however when eventually I did downgrade, there was still picture freezing. Basically I put up with it as my viewing habits are such that the TV is on
    while I surf the web, listen to the radio etc.


    Last weekend there was some boxing on Sly I fancied watching but it was impossible with all the freezing so I thought I'd sort it out. I was using ViX 2.4 and CCcam 2.1.3
    and so swapped for Blackhole 2.0.1 and CCcam 2.3.0 however still the picture freezing so that kinda says it's not the image or the softcam. Internet connection? No concerns
    with it prior to installing ViX 3.0. Whenever I have issues with my broadband then it effects all connected devices not just my Vu+ Solo.


    I did read somewhere (probably on here but can't find the thread) that when installing ViX 3.0 it updates the kernel to 3.1.1 and that whatever you try and flash afterwards
    the kernel will remain 3.1.1 and that there were memory issues with this kernel. Is that right?


    Any ideas guys?


    Many thanks.

  • Catseye Support & Questions

    I have put a Catseye channel list into the relevant folders on my Vu+ Solo but I'm getting a lot of channels listed as n/a which can
    be a bit problematic when looking for a specific channel. Any ideas where I'm going wrong? Cheers.

  • Downgrading ViX Image/ Reflashing Problems

    Ok cheers for that. It's now stuck on the OPENVIX start screen. I've tried the reset button on the back, unplugged it from the mains but no good. Remote is not having any effect. I've but Blackhole on a USB stick, still won't read it, just goes into ViX. This box is pretty close to going in the fish pond. Any ideas?


    Many thanks

  • Downgrading ViX Image/ Reflashing Problems

    Still having trouble with this. Freezing pic on encrypted channels whichever share is being used. I have done a factory reset, when it rebooted it went through the choose language, config network etc but still reboots into ViX 3.0. Shouldn't a factory reset get rid of whatever image was present before?


    Cheers

  • Downgrading ViX Image/ Reflashing Problems

    @ nano - tried different images from other teams however same result
    @ pheonix - skin is ViX_Night_HD
    @ baz135 - updated successfully via telnet however still can't flash any image


    My initial problem was a freezing screen which seems to be ok now i have singled it down to a certain share. All
    seems fine with the updated ViX so I'll stick with this. Thanks for the suggestions guys:)

  • Downgrading ViX Image/ Reflashing Problems

    Cheers Banny,


    Tried two formatted sticks but still boots up into 3.0. I've checked the image, it contains the kernel, reboot and root. Also both sticks are detected by the box after booting.
    I think I've sorted the freezing out, reckon it was a particular share so it's watchable now.
