I been waking up and seeing flashes every 1min 30 secs approx on the front of my receiver box as if it's trying to find Wifi. But the router is off and the unit is closed down. Is this normal?
Vu Duo 4kSE
Thanks

That new style remote is awesome, with the duo2 go to remote section and it should give you the option to change to New vu+ Type 6 rcu, I have the old remote and it says legacy vu + universal RCU. I use code 2 on the legacy and 3 on the duo4kse with multiboot.
And with the VIX image I can change the new remote to work the duo2 if I wish.
I am not sure what options the plugin will give you.
I use a few images and can have a few codes but when I forget I have to use WEBIF to change it. What I do is press OK and the power button until red says solid, then enter 00003 and press OK. It can be 1, 2, 3 BUT 0000 in front.
I dont know if that makes any sense, you may follow it but if stuck try the openpli forum. I know you like openpli but Vix and openatv have come on in leaps and bounds at the moment I am using OPBH 5.4 and its damm good, nice skins, MX HQ10 and I can change remote code on it.
I do like Openpli images, I will take a look at those images and see if I get on with them. Thank you.

I managed to sort it out.
Go to remotecontrolplugin
Remote control system code (change to 3) be aware if you don't see a number at the end of this option your TV is not set up right. (I pressed and guessed)
Press green !!!!!!! (very important)
Press stb and ok
Wait for the red led light to light up
00003 then ok
Led will flash twice
Press restore
Then reboot gui with Ok button
Duo 2 is 00002 by default same as the Duo4kse
So I left the Duo at 00002 and programmed the Duo4kse to 00003
It was not working for me because I did not see the numbers at the end of remote control system code in the plugin!!!
Thank you to Bmitie and Claihew

I have a similar problem, to program my handset - ok and standby button , then 00002, ok button and it works the Vu reciever. But I need to change it to another code so it doesn' interfere with my other vu box. Any ideas?
-
Just say the image and you go to remote control setting to change the one for the zero, I have a duo2 and a duo4kse in same room 2 remotes set to not clash.
Hi mate, I have a Vu duo 2 with the newer style handset and a vu duo 4k se with the new type handset as well. I changed the code to 00003 (00002 is the factory set frequency) and it wont work. I looked on the feeds and found remote control channel. Is that what I need?
I do have plugin remotecontrolcode but it is saying to use 2-7 together by my remote setup is standby and ok button to put the code in. Thanks

Did you get it from wos ?
No mate.
Well I'm kind of glad to hear that in a way, i would not have expected any such issues from WOS.
WOS is this forums sponsor..... BUT besides that, they are very reputable and have been in business many years.
They have a price match offer and will uphold a 2 year hardware guarantee.
For me, using them is a no brainer when spending out a large amount of cash.
There is a place selling vu+ duo 4k se cheaper that wos at the moment but they are in europe. I have had my eye them but i will not mention them here as wos is the forum sponsor. I don't think wos will match the price though.
Thanks, the sponsor's price is a fair price to be fair. The only risk with Europe is if you ever got to send it back. Rarely happens especially units from Korea

I will bare that company in mind. It is a better price than I paid too. I will see what the supplier wants to do. Either replace or he might right me off as a customer and give a refund. Thanks

They should have a protective film. Try a hair dryer (low heat setting) on it. You should then be able to remove the film easily.
Thank you, that is a great tip. I will get this unit exchanged then try that. Superb!
-
I havn't touched the box as I would not be able to send it back if I did. boot it up Guess it be like a bad pixel on a Tv but on the LCD front panel. It will irritate me especially the price it cost. Cheers
If your not happy return it, ( i would would too) as for the protective cover..... i cant remember if i had one or not, i always remove that stuff immediately lol
I will send it back and rethink. Why put a cover on so u got to damage the corner getting it off. seems crazy to me. The older units had a tab so it would rip off easily. Thanks for the reassurance

I got the unit today. I wasn't sure if it had a protective cover on the front of the unit. I phoned the supplier and it had and just peel it off. I tried to peel it with my nail but I couldn't get it off. I tried ductape on it but still didn't work. I am concerned if it hasn't got a cover on then the unit would be scratched to hell.
The supplier said there is definitely a film u can remove but I can't seem to remove it. Also there is dirt trapped behind the screen. I think I will be sending it back.
Cheers
Not a good start, the dirt is alarming......would it show up in a picture?

Thank you
You have to enable the kexec multiboot functionality after you flash the first image of your choice. You can then flash other images into different directories.
The FBC tuners will not blind scan.
Draw a picture of your LNBs, Dishes, cabling and any switches if you want useful advice instead of people having to guess what equipment you have and speculate how it should be configured. Your tuner configuration must match the hardware to avoid issues.

I have the duo4kse and yes it does multiboot and the duo2 remote will work the duo4kse and vice versa and you can have both boxes in same room with remotes as you can change the remote code on each.
the uno4kse does blutooth as well.
Box coming tomorrow hopefully. So is it multiboot ready?
I will change one of the handsets
I need to work out how to and loop the lnb out to feed the vu with the same satellite. I think the seller said there was 2 feeds in on one tuner. All double dutch to me til I see it . Seen the bluetooth bit so handy for earphones. Cheers
-
but that remote is now unavailable!!! back on topic the uno4kse is top notch and the remote is aesome but if you are really hung up on performance you can even get a blutoooth remote and change channels when you are in the next room.
It has a twin FBC tuner and a nice caddy for the ssd. and it does multiboot when set up from the start.
As for the duo4kse then same as uno but faster chip, twin fbc tuners etc but expensive
I like the fact the duo is bluetooth and to be honnest an extra 40 quid isn't out of the way. Not sure if the duo has multiboot. I have the same remote on my duo2 as an upgrade from the old remote and yes it is

After Over 50 flashes to my Dreambox and working out how to back up my hard work I eventually got my BBC channels back. It didn't last for though . I couldn't work out why one minute BBC was found and the next minute they were not. On a boot up I got no tuner found. After a few reboots the tuner was up and running. So in a nutshell my tuner was on its way out all the time. I was unlucky that the sd channels still worked for a while. Hence why I flashed the box so many times, thinking I was pressing the wrong buttons after losing BBC on search. Weird how you lose the HD channels but keep the SD channels Thank you for all your replies. I have learnt a lot from this.

First of all, when choosing a receiver with enigma2, the first thing you need to see is which model has software support, which is the most important thing.
ZGEMMA H7S mit 2*DVB-S2X + DVB-T2/C 4K UHD Satelliten Receiver
So true

Are you aware you can buy a pvr kit for the zero? Although that pvr kit is stupidly priced. You can buy another box for that price.
Just use a USB to fit an external HDD... or USB Memory Stick,.. and voilà,
Personally I have VU+ Zero 4k, VU+ Uno 4k and VU+ Uno 4kse, all working good... and nice boxes.
Also have the UHD models of DMM, the DM900, DM920, DreamOne and DreamTwo, happy of all them as well.
and.. I still use my old DM800HDse and DM8000HD boxes, as well as I have few DM525HD Combo running smoothly with the DVB-T2 included.

Hi, thank you for your reply. I was thinking about doing that but I bought a wifi usb to go with it and it only has one port. I have seen your posts about how to fix a DM800 and I was going down that road but I thought it's time to upgrade. Wish I fixed the Dm800 now to be fair. You have a great collection bud. Good to see that.
Display MoreThe OP mentions something that most STB makers seam to skimp on, the bloody Remote control. I have never understood why they dont spent a few more pounds on the one part that gets used the most. Im sure most buyers would happily pay an extra 10 quid for a decent remote control.
I have had many boxes over the years, probably 20 odd different makes, my Xpeed lx2 and lx3 had really good remotes.
The newer VU+ remote control is a close second.
But all the other manufacturers remotes, have been absolute shite...
the sf8008 with its clicky buttons was one of my least favourite remotes (the box itself is very good though).
My advise would be to buy the duo 4k, Other options i would consider:
https://www.world-of-satellite…us-uno-4k-se-fbc-dvb-s-s2
https://www.world-of-satellite…gablue/gigablue-uhd-ue-4k
The sticky keys part is so true. Like you said a tenner more and your get a better remote. It's like these top end sports cars with seatbelts from the 90's.
Thanks for your reply.
I think VU is the way forward, will check those specs
-
The Octagon SF8008 is the new kid in town. Broadcom is/has gone out of the FTA chipset market.
Looks a good box to be fair

So you have not been watching the the packages like sky germany which can be opened easily with these boxes?
No I havn't bud. I dont have any cams etc
The cams can be download directly to your box, usally by pressing menu, plugins, green button to download plugins and then softcams. A good starting point is ncam 15 or a version of oscam.emu.. These softcams need a server to connect to to open up the best channels. There is a free server addon on this forum called c line downloader. This gives you acces to c lines which were used in cccam softcam,. Because most of us use ncam or oscam there are converters and you simply copy the clines into the converter. This gives you a text file and you copy it into the ncam.server file. Restart the cam and it opens the channels. Another free server addon is called zoom, also available on here. You can also buy the server which is easier. I cannot go into any more detail on the forum as its against the forum rules. Basically your box can open many many packages across europe for very little cost. Good luck.
Very clear explanation, thank you buddy
