  • Raspberry PI Virgin

    RaspBMC is great, especially when used with a MySQL database with a main media centre PC and android tablets etc..
    SD card choice is very important though. Mine used to crash loads, now I have a 32gb Sandisk Extreme it, never had a problem.

  • New Vu+ Solo - flashing blue light after update

    Thanks for all the advice, will keep clear of TSpanel too, it just sounded easier! But in the end, more hassle!


    The guy got back to me and said Yes they are clones, but really good!!
    To be fair though, he is offering me my money back, which I am going to take and now go and purchase a new ORIGINAL one from the advert at the top!


    Something like this that I am fairly new to, even different coloured LEDS are enough to start wondering if the right thing is happening so I am 100% original!

  • New Vu+ Solo - flashing blue light after update

    That's what I started to suspect from all the posts that I have read in the last couple of days!
    I don't want a clone so as soon as he gives me chacne to return it (and he better or his 100% feedback will go, I don't think writing in there China version takes latest images is clear enough! although missing that when I bought it was my fault, but every other seems to say CLONE in the title!) I will be onto World Of Satellite to get one I can trust. The time messing around is not worth the money saving.


    TS Panel - it installed and then when I went into plugins, a message came up first (which for the life of me I can't remember what it said) before going into the plugin section which did not have TS panel in it. TS Panel was mentioned though in that message..

  • New Vu+ Solo - flashing blue light after update

    I bought this box from a seller with 100% feedback selling New Vu+ Solo boxes.
    I can post the link if the info will help, but wasn't sure if that was allowed?
    But this was the description:
    Vu + Solo Hd Box Enigma2 Latest Vix 3.0 image Installed


    Vu+ solo hd box


    Comes with latest Vix 3.0 image installed


    you can safely flash any other genuine image like blackhole 1.79 etc from there website


    Remote
    Hdmi cable
    Audio leads



    China version latest takes all images with no patch or old drivers


    please be aware that Ferrari version or other versions don't have the latest update
    if your thinking of buying from another seller just ask the seller if can you put blackhole 1.78 on it, if you can't its old version of solo hd box



    this model we sell allows latest images to work and software update can safely be used within the image


    I have only just noticed that is says China version when I have pasted it here, however it does actually say made in Korea on the back.


    It started up fine and I got a picture on BBC channels etc. Once i started trying to add an EPG and tspanel, it was having none of it. Sometimes needing a reset.


    I noticed that in VIX it said an update was available, so I pressed it.


    It downloaded something and since then it only boots up to the vix screen and then nothing works. No buttons had any effect.


    I have downloaded the latest vix (and some others) image and installed it via USB and all it does is flashing blue LED when it has copied all the files across (well i presume it has). Nothing at all on the screen since the USB updates.


    I looked for this online and people seem to say a BLUE LED is either a duo box (which has a display so isnt) or a clone. There was nothing in the ad to say its a clone though?


    I have contacted the seller just an hour back, but would like any kind of back up I can get off here if I need it? It was just the cheapest available, I didn't want a clone and would have paid more for others, but feedback is good..


    Thanks in advance, not the best start but I am determined to enjoy this hobby! (I have moved from a spiderbox!)
