    Hey,


    I've got a few questions about the VU+ Duo, any one who has one I'd appreciate some responses.


    1.
    a) Can you use two outputs at the same time?
    b) Similarly, is it possible to use 3 or 4 outputs (HDMI, Scart, Composite, Component) in any combination at the same time?


    2. Can you separate the tuners in such a way that you can watch 'Tuner A' on the HDMI output, whilst 'Tuner B' is on another output? I know that would need some modification but is it possible?


    Thanks,

    Good choise ILM16, I am working with a Duo for two years now, and never regreted it.
    This machine is worth every penny you spend on it


    Do you power a motor or fixed dish out of interest mate? :)

    All models will do what you are planning and more, the only real differance between each model is performance and twin tuners.


    So you`ve got to decide whether you want a twin tuner (DUO) or single tuner (solo, uno) and high performance(duo, uno) or medium performance (solo).


    I'd prefer a twin tuner, but if the price is getting to much I'd be happy with a single tuner.


    Regarding performance, I really do not mind. As long as my card is clearing, sharing and I'm watching HD, I don't care. :)


    Are all models capable of internal hard drives? As in the future I may upgrade.

    Hey,


    I've recently decided to get a VU+, however I don't know which one?


    What I'm planning on doing is:


    1) Using the box to move a motorised dish.
    2) Running OSCAM + CCcam to clear & share my card.
    3) No plans on using a hard drive (yet)


    Any thoughts, suggestions, tips are welcome.

    Thanks lads, I'm considering getting a VU+ now. I can't be doing with the DM500, it's outdated. My mate said it's good with motors (and other stuff).


    I'll probably reflash it later this week.

    Hello,


    I currently have 4.8E stored on my DM500 in motor settings.


    I try nudging it either way to get a better signal, which happens. I 'store' the location again and exit. If I then change the channel from say Viasat Hockey to Viasat Motor, the DreamBox tells me to 'Wait whilst the motor moves to 4.8E' and the dish moves slightly.


    I then went back to motor set up and under 'mode' chose 'recalculate', again nudging the dish into a better position. I clicked 'recalc' and exited, changed channel again and the same thing happened, the dish moved back.


    Can someone help me? I'm getting annoyed with it!

    Still can't fix the reboot issue, it's really bugging me now.


    In oscam webinfo you will see this when starting oscam


    Code
    2011/09/25 11:43:55 31825B50 r [videoguard2-reader] type: VideoGuard B***B (0963), caid: 0963
    2011/09/25 11:43:55 31825B50 r [videoguard2-reader] serial: XXXXXXX, BoxID: XXXXXXXX, baseyear: 1997
    2011/09/25 11:43:55 31825B50 r [videoguard2-reader] ready for requests


    So, when I remove boxid and restart, I should look for that?

    You need to completely remove the line from your configs, once you have look at oscam logs at startup and you will see that the boxid is read from the card.



    The logs I use are from webif as no files are created in FTP.


    How do you know the boxid is not being read? Sorry if this seems like I am doubting you, I'm not at all, it's just without the boxid, Premier Sports would not clear. I will try again later though, see if this time it does.


    Try changing the oscam binary to a differant version and see if you still get the same errors.


    I will try.

    These weird error logs you`ve started a new thread with will be the reason why your oscam is randomly stopping, so they are relevant to this thread.
    No need for two separate threads, fix one error and it will probably sort both problems.


    OSCAM is not randomly stopping, it only does that after I reboot the box.


    These errors appeared for the first time ever yesterday afternoon, after a few weeks of OSCAM clearing my card fine.

    It's not just you mate, its black here too.


    When did this happen, using OSCAM yeh?


    The reason I ask is I can't clear anything with my card at the moment, LFC TV, Pick TV etc. My card works fine in the Sly box.


    I've got some weird errors in OSCAM and so once I fix them, hopefully it starts trying to use the card again for things like LFC TV at least.

    Hello,


    You've merged 2 different threads together with 2 different errors.


    I am now confused as to which questions are directed at which issue.


    Regarding the reboot issue, I am running OSCAM 5663.


    My config files:


    config:


    server:


    user:

    Code
    [account]
    user = test1
    pwd = test2
    monlevel = 0
    uniq = 0
    group = 1,2
    au = 1
    caid = 0963
