    hi Nano
    mines a v3 clone & running spot-on with OpenPLi 3.0 with Icefilms/X-hamster/1channel/ITV&BBC players :caz2:


    hi mate, i have the same setup as yourself but instead of bbc and itv i have the rte's.
    anyhow i have been trying to install the icefilms plugin but to no avail, i have tried it numerous times and still nothing !!


    just wondering did you have to do anything different on the install instructions ??

    hi and thanks for that.


    there are other computers running and at times there are online gaming in progress.
    but this happens during the day time when nothing only the box itself is running !!


    my stats are :
    SNR 54%
    AGC 73%
    BER 0


    as for my ecm :baffle: i am not quite sure where to find them


    it seems to happen on certain channels more so than others.

    hi all, so i have my vu+ solo ***** up and running about 2 months now.


    it is going great all apart from glitching now and again.
    nothing much that would put my viewing off but still enough to be noticed.
    i took the box into the neighbors house and set it up on his internet and tv and it was glitch free, a great picture all the time.


    there is not much difference in our internet speeds but we do have different providers !!


    or could the problem lie within my router ??


    i have the box connected to the router with an Ethernet cable, albeit 10 meter long (weather or not that would matter)


    any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated

    ok so now i have made a c*#t of the whole thing :angry:


    i went to ftp the said folder into /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions and yet again nothing..... so i removed it.
    but now there are a load of option thingy's missing from my plugin menu in the menu on the box......


    niall_b73

    thanks for the quick reply.
    before we go any further i have to tell you i know pretty much nothing about these kits and am learning as i go along so basically what you are saying is that it just wont do on my machine.
    ok so i was trying to load the icefilm plugin. i have a vu+solo clone.
    now for the technical stuff i could not honestly tell you other than the fact that it is on openpli and enigma 2, other than that i am pretty useless....
    any ideas could this work on my box ?

    brilliant, so i dont have a 3dtv is there any way i could watch 3d or do i need to upgrade my tv ?
    also when i have my box set up and running is it possible for me to just plug the box out and take it to another house plug it in and off it will go with the current settings ??


    many thanks for the above answer,

    hi all, i recently purchased a vu+ solo clone and am most happy it.


    so the neighbour has been in and seen it and is very impressed and now he is looking into purchasing one for himself.
    now the both of us are complete and utter noobs so really no nothing about any of these boxes.
    the problem is, he phoned a few people about purchasing a box the same as mine but he was told that because he had a Sony Bavaria tv (the latest hd, 3d and all the rest) that the vu+ solo would not be up to the job !!


    i guess i am looking for guidance here as to what would be a good option for him, like i said he is looking the box to be able to watch the 3d and all the rest.
    cheap and cheerfull if possible


    many thanks for looking
