thanks guys, i didnt know you could use any router with BT, thought it was locked down to make you use theirs, might look into getting another to test it out but cheers for the input :)
for info 26/04/14 was last update so cant be that

Hi, until a few days ago all was fine and dandy but now anything that requires network access doesnt work, you tube for instance
i use a solo connected to a homeplug to bt homehub but i also tried cat5 cable direct to the router and it made no difference
the solo shows up in the router settings, i can ping it from a pc, network test on the solo is ok and i can connect via dreambox edit and ftp etc
apart from this it works great but i cant understand the sudden change, any ideas?

sd or hd? the drive will have to have certain read and write speeds for whichever quality you record

ill have to get a pendrive then, could come in handy
whats the biggest you can use or is there no limit as 64gb ones arent that expensive these days

pleased i asked coz one place i looked using a very well know search engine said 1 hour = 1 gb which i thought to be wrong

out of curiosity, how much recording time would a 32gb stick give you in sd and hd?

pm sent mate

well maybe my search is different to yours but im having great difficulty finding the issue where my once working dish now wont work with a new receiver
each time i connect the tm500 it works ok, i swap over and it wont lock
i understand theres lots of great tutorials for many subjects but im at the starting block where i dont even have a locked signal so adding plugins etc etc isnt top of my priorities, trying to just get a lock is where im stuck and believe me i have searched, found similar ' http://linuxsat-support.com/vu…iseqc-1-2-positioner.html ' but that doesnt seem to apply to my tm500 setip or its just me being a n00b

i read about this 'usuals' what is this, sorry but im a total n00b and these common names dont mean much to me
as an update, i can move the dish just fine east and west, when i press red for goto 0 the dish moves and stops, is it 0 i dont know but it moves from where i had it parked to roughly the same spot each time
i did for a brief second have bbc1 working so i think the dish must be moving slightly past although it appears fine on my old tm500 that i put back on
i used my positions as given via google but could there be a slight difference causing the dish to be out of alignment

sooooo frustrating

ok ive added my lontitude and latitude and then i goto 0
i can see the dish moving when i do this
then when i goto default channels on 19.2 ithe dish moves but all i get is the flashing dish picture in the top right and no picture, just the gui page as if the dish hasnt lokcked onto the satellite

have i missed something simple in the initial setup??

ok guys, trying to have a go here and getting nowhere, the image is a blackhole 1.6 something or other which was already installed
ive done basic setup wizard but having issues locking in my home lontitude/latitude details and then doing positioner setup so it knows where i am
ive used Google maps and for my position, think ive don that correct although does a - (minus sign) mean anything or is that where it defines east and west?
when i goto positioner setup/goto 0 and press the red button then nothing happens
any thoughts?

ill try it out tom guys, thanks for the help
no idea whats on it coz i havent dared switch it on lol but im off for 10 days after tonight so then its time to play
by chip update i take it you mean 'secret chip update' ill have to look whats on it
ill keep you guys posted :)

ok guys and gals, seems i have me a clone vu+ solo which has yet to be turned on so its still as clean as a virgin

what things do you suggest i do to this box to enable me to watch the unmentionables though my motorized dish that i currently watch on my tm500

do i need an image, cccam etc etc? idiots guide would be appreciated

id never bother a return lol id no doubt kiss goodbye to money and box

on the site the box's sticker mentions theres a solo secret chip update file so im assuming i need to run this
i quote ' Pls download this software , make Scret chip update , then you can use all latest software for your Solo ' so i need to read a lot but hopefully theres help :)

on the base it has a sticker with vu+ solo a bn number and a sn number and another little sticker saying v2.0
it also came with an rs232 cable and cost £119

also reading the www im hearing all sorts of issues which is making me regret this purchase :( , i have a black remote if this helps as some white ones are clones from what i read

Hi, just received a vu+ solo and i cant tell from the outer images i find as to whether this is genuine or clone and im nervous about doing anything until i know which it is
is there an easy way or must you open it up?
i bought from what i thought was a UK site but it was delivered from hong kong so im none the wiser, any tips?

also, it came with a 2 pin (round) plug which isnt helpful, i have an adapter that i think will work that came with a chinese tablet i bought years ago and also on the top of the unit itself it has a warning sticker saying where all the updates should come from otherwise it may cause damage to the receiver
