Thanks for the response. I did flash my current router with dd-wrt and could not get on with that. AsusWRT has been released by Merlin for 3 Routers other than Asus, works a treat and I am currently sorted. Thanks again, regards.

Good Evening,

Since yesterday, I have been trying to install a VPN on my Vu+ Solo2. I have tried PIA using the instructions on the site here:

http://www.world-of-satellite.…ess&highlight=private+vpn, with no success. I then tried Cyberghost, who also have a decent set of instructions and a tool which makes [almost] all you need as a download. PIA just refuses to start the OpenVPN plugin and Cyberghost "hangs" at boot time. Any help to sort this out would be very welcome. Thanks for reading. Regards.

I am with Plusnet, in my 3rd year with them. Apart from the length of "hold time" whilst accessing support, I have found their service to be exemplary. Regards.

Good to see you [and your news] back Regards.

I am currently running Vix 4.1.16 and am trying to update to the latest 4.2.X using a USB dongle - well, 3 dongles actually, which have all been used previously to update. Prior to use, I have formatted each to FAT amd have even tries FAT32. The image appears to program the box successfully and I am walked through the Wizards to complete the setup - no resore has been used. Following apparently successfully completeing the setup, when I reboot the box all I get is a black screen. Please help a 72 year old, this is the first time I needed help with a new image and it is somewhat frustrating after about a dozen tries. Thanks kindly. Regards.

I have decided to [temporarily] change at the router level. Not ideally what I would like, but will serve well for now. Thanks for the offer ferdi, but I will pass for now. Regards.

As above post i use IPVanish and this does hide the DNS but reading up on hidemyass it has problems with DNS leaks!!!

i think it can be resolved but not sure how!!!!

cheers

Is there a tutorial for running IPVanish on Vu+ Solo2? I have a subscription, but cannot seem to get it working. Thanks.

I visit at least once a day and *always* look for Prophet's posts. Whilst I do download the occasional offered magazines, I am also *very* interested in his "news" type postings. I fail to see any reason for hiding his material. A request just yesterday to Prophet gave the information I needed in a very short timeframe.

Prophet, thanks kindly for your forum input. Keeping us all informed is a very welcome "service" and should not be hidden from view. Best Regards.

Or even the T8 S, dual boot. Regards.

I am using Asus AC 68U and Asus Ac 66U one with PureVPN and one with Hidemya$$, both flawless. Regards.

This is typical of the support over here - excellent. Regards.

ITV Encore, opened yesterday is HD and is also "unavailable". Regards.

^^^^^^^ What he said. Great to see the site back up. Regards.

I am following this with interest, as I have been messing about with oscam for over a fortnightl now. Had some serious help from a couple of gentlemen in here, but still getting similar results to you. A right royal pain in the btm. Regards.

I use windows explorer, no troubles. Regards.

Good Morning, again, just to report that after flashing Helios006 and carefully following all the steps - again - Ta Da IT WORKS on CCcam. All SD channels are clearing. It may not sound much to you really experienced guys, but for a 70 year old linux noob, I feel really - and I mean REALLY - pleased with myself. I will investigate using Oscam another day I think, I don't want to spoil it. The original query of how to get S*y upstairs demands Oscam, so I will attempt this again sometime soon. Very many thanks to all of you for your patience. My very best regards. M.

Thanks to all - again - I have just d/l Helios version 006 - I will start afresh again and see what's what this morning. I did transfer into tmp folder, but when using vix/blue button, no files were shown. I put them on the same reformatted usb stick that I used for flashing and, whilst having the box on and tuned to bbc1, no popup to show install offer. Thanks for the green button tip MK, if it all turns out badly this morning, I will quit for a while and maybe even try an alternative image downstream. I have used nothing but Vix since I bought the box from the forum sponsor back in December 2013. Regards all. M.

Well, I don't know what on earth I have done now. Both install ipk from USB and load ipk's into tmp then look to "install local" seem broken :( I have loaded Helios.004 from a USB stick, no problem there, but putting 2 ipk files on the same stick after formatting it don't get seen to be offered on a switch off/on. Perhaps I need to learn not to mess with something that worked - well FTA channels anyway. Regards.

Good Morning All,

Well, I have continued to try - and fail - to get this running. This morning, I "updated" the box and ended up with a permanent spinning VIX reboot scenario, should have read forums before doing it today :( This, however means that I "bit the bullet" and did a fresh Helios 001 install and did not use any of my backups to reload other "stuff", so I effectively have a "new" box to start with. I will try to get this running in very small steps if I can. Is it the case that a CCcam config - no Oscam - with just 2 lines like this:

BOXKEY: /dev/sci0 AA AB AC AD
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/sci0 3570000

will work with the card in the upper slot? I have generated the correct Boxkey from the S/N of the S*y box and, of course, will replace those shown above.

Sorry to be so poor at this stuff, but it seems that the more I discover, the more I need to learn and it's not easy at 70 :)

Thanks and regards.

Thanks to all who responded. I have been trying to get it running this morning, so far no luck. As the extended family are due imminently, I will have to quit for today and will go again [hopefully] tomorrow. I do have an old, SD only, box so, should I get this to run, I will attempt to pair it in that box. I can, temporarily, live without HD, but it would be useful if I can get anything out of the original card outside of the original box. Thanks again. Regards.
