hi thanks for reply i have compared with imaces of clone reciever this box looks to be original

Try latest Blackhole and see how you get on. There are clone safe images about, but if your current image is working fine then do you need to change?:)

Which are you using, Backup manager or Image manager ?
Backup manager will backup your settings only, like network & tuner configuration, channel list etc. Image manager will backup the whole image, which is what you are after.
BTW don`t use TSpanel to backup this image..

Yes i think that was the problem. I was not using image backup...doh!

I prefer Blackhole images and this is a vix appollo image.

Works nice but i always make a backup as it saves time in the long run.

Cheers for the info and help guys :)

From both the image control panel and Ts Panel backup app it makes firstly a .tar and then when i look inside that rar it makes 3 folders. etc,usr and tmp.
The Zgemma structure is nothing like this so i am not sure whats going on here :)

No it does not make the zgemma folder, neither does it make the correct file structure. It makes the exact same as my first post..

I tried this but it makes a .tar.gz file and when extracted it does not look like the correct file structure.

Theres a guide on here on how to tell if its a real SOLO or not , that been said it could just be the bootloader that needs updated <
what image are you running ok and what is your bootloader ? , what images you tried that failed as this can help to see what boot loader your on as changes happen by image update offcourse

I am pretty sure it's a clone. It has no com port etc. The box has been bomb proof and even when i flash the newest Vix or Blackhole all that happens is it wont boot up, i simply re flash it with older image and it's fine.

This is why i am now buying a legit box so that in two years i can stil use genuine images.

Probably stick the Vu+Solo on gumtree.

Cheers for all the info on this post, much appreciated.
I came in to the SAT side of things on a brand new Dreambox 7000s and if my memory serves me right it cost me over £500 with the dish etc.

For £70 delivered and with warranty then for now my choice is a Zgemma Star s2 with new figure of 8 power cable.

My Vu+solo as served me well but i was told it was genuine and i don't think it is as images no longer work (new ones, old are fine).

What are you adding to the newcamd.list file, C, N or CWS line ?

It's a cws line mate.
I had it working on a vix image but for me BH is always my preference choice.

Thanks for this. I already have these files and they don't work. Only the Ccam works for some reason.

I am trying to set up mgcamd 1.38 as newcamd is quite glitchy but when i add my newcamb.list it wont clear.

Any pointers guys?

Black hole 2.0.7

I have a Vu+solo and i am thinking of upgrading as my mate wants my old faithful box.

I have had dreamboxes and other similar boxes over the years.

Twin tuner is not really needed , but is the Zgemma box quicker and better than the vu+solo or just the same?

Hard to tell from reviews tbh.

All i can deduce is i got a clone and i didn't know it :( No other explanation.

Cheers for the replies guys. I tried 2.0.7 and same blank screen.:(

I cannot seem to get the new BH 2.0.6 working. I get a blank screen after flash and I have tried new usb stick and downloading the image again.
It seems a few people are having the same problem. As far as I know my box is legit. I have a Vu+Solo. I managed to restore 2.0.3 hyperspace.

Does anyone know why this wont install for me? I updated via usb as i have done plenty of times, but this just wont boot. I tried different usb drives and even 2.07 and still nothing.I am on 2.0.3 Hyperspace at moment. I was able to go back to my old image via backup.

Nice info on formatting here. I followed the first post as the BH image i used keeps dropping the hard drive. I still cant see it mounted in the image, but the recording path is working.

Only downside is i cannot see it when i ftp inside of it if i wanted to backup my recordings etc.

Yes i lost Boxnation and a few others. I did a scan and then they went. Reloaded channel lists and they came back.

Try reloading the channel list etc. Worked for me.

Thanks dude. I did it from the image in the end but i was going round and round for ages :)
Thanks for this.

I have installed Blackhole 2.0.5 build 2013-07-27 and all is working but I cant seem to find coolepg from TSPanel etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I would prefer coolepg to be the default option from the epg button if possible?
