Thanks
Just tried that - put file folder "UK Ready BlackHole 1.6.7 VU+DUO Personal Backup" (NOT "Linuxsat-support UK Ready BlackHole 1.6.7 VU+DUO Personal Backup" - does this make a difference?) into media/USB, went to BH/Personal Backup/Restore and got msg "Sorry Personal Backup not found". Also tried "Backup" and got "You have to setup backup location' then tried 'Setup' and got "Sorry no device found to store backup" - with USB inserted?

Hi

I've got 1.6.7. running fine on my box ( but still got my RC problem - see http://linuxsat-support.com/vu…-ir-receiver-problem.html and thus using iDreamX to control box). However I can't figure how to load / activate this file - Linuxsat-support UK Ready BlackHole 1.6.7 VU+DUO Personal Backup - I've created Mount Manager for the USB, but how do I get the file into the box? Ta

Thanks Cazuela

Ref elpicko: How to : Reprogram Vu+ Remote Control - doesn't seem to work for me, but my Vu+Duo was from one of the first batches to come to the UK and I think the RC is / was programmed for Duo

Re "BH go to menu- plugins-plugin browser-remote controlcode-" - I now have BH1.6.6 loaded via USB and can't see this plug-in?

Here is a screen shot of my box at this moment - it's stuck on this screen, but I can change the channel within the screen using IDreamX - but using my RC has no effect - still wondering what to do?

Latest update, some god news and some bad!

Original VU+ image got stuck 2nd time in 'loading' loop, so then flashed BH 1.6.6 but this just gave black screen? Next reverted to flash my 'original' BH image - and this now works (1.6.5), HOWEVER my initial problem is still there i.e. once a channel is selected my remote no longer works to change channel and select menu etc and I have to revert to using IDreamX to do same?
Back to square 1!

So why does box resist BH 1.6.6, latest VU+ original and other images? It seems like there's a gremlin in the box which needs purging - will Vu Util do this for me, i.e. return my box to a virgin state so that I can install latest images and my remote works once more???

Any ideas anyone?

I've just borrowed my son's pc with a view to try and use something called Vu Util via serial cable....but cant find my cable!

He also lent me a 3rd USB stick which I've just tried to flash with latest original vu+ image...and it seems to be working - well at least I got the VU+ logo on-screen, but then seemed to get stuck in a 'loading' loop, so am re-flashing again as I type, will keep you posted!

Thanks Sandman - just tried ping lite - no joy there.

Also tried Terminal as suggested and got back "ping: cannot resolve bm750.local: Unknown host" , so it looks like the box isn't responding?

I WAS able to access using IDreamX ( a mac version of DCC), but to do so I need the IP address of the box and this varies each time it's rebooted. Do you know if there is a way to identify the IP address directly via DCC - web browser i.e. without access to Network configuration on the Settings menu?

Thanks Cazuela - but I can't use USB flash, the box doesn't seem to recognise it?

Thanks Sandman - I've lost track of which image I last tried to flash with - maybe it was BH 1.6.7? My previous (successful) version of BH was installed several months ago and was 1.4 or somesuch.
I now can't reflash using USB - it just doesn't respond.
Good luck

I now can't re-flash the box, it's stuck on 'starting' and won't respond to USB inserted in either front or back port. I'm now at a total loss as to what to try? Any suggestions please?

Thanks Mutz - but no USB stick inserted

Thanks newtolinux & scoot1690, the problem is due to image and Blackhole has worked fine for several months now (sorry for not replying sooner, but just revisited thread and saw your suggestions)

This is weird -so any suggestions gratefully received.

My remote is working fine - new batteries etc but once a channel is selected following boot up the box no longer responds to commands from the remote?

I've done a factory reset and tried other images (now reverted to Blackhole) but always the same problem. If I don't select a channel and use remote to make menu commands then doesn't seem to be a problem, but immediately I choose a channel, the remote is useless. (I can still control the box using iDreamx on my Mac, but this isn't very satisfactory!)

Any ideas?

Ta!

I have Vu+ duo with Vix2.2 installed - my TV is a LG LED HD 720p.

On booting up the Vu+ box the initial VIX image colour is fine - however as the bootup continues the image colour suddenly changes to a washed out green tinge across the whole screen. Once bootup is finished all channels exhibit same washed out green tinge. Can anybody help please?

Thanks - but set to pal

I have a Vu+ duo and have just moved house - at the new house I have a standard(?) sly dish with 2 sleeved cables which I've connected to the box -there is also another cable, but connecting this doesn't seem to give a signal.

Problem is that the TV colour is poor - for want of a better description its 'washed out' and has a slight green tint to it. Problem occurs with Pli image and newly installed vix 2.2.

At my previous flat I had a Sly connection and a monoblock 13e/19e - these were set up by a professional communal installer - colour etc was fine.

I've checked / changed scart to no avail.

Any ideas?

Thanks
