  • help for my vu solo(red light always)

    Did you upgrade the bootloader as suggested by linuxdude??


    Here is how to do it:



    1. Unzip the solo_cfe_2.0_usb.zip to USB stick.(There should be /vuplus/solo/cfe_cfe_auto.bin)

    2. Insert USB stick into the USB port of solo and power on the box.

    3. It takes just a few secs to update.

    4. If solo's front led blinks continuously, restart box.

    5. To proceed with image update, you should delete the cfe_cfe_auto.bin at /vuplus/solo in USB stick once bootloader update is finished.



    Here's a link to the file you require:

    You need to make a intro post please.

  • vu+duo

    Hi pred,


    Have you tried flashing on a original VU duo image??? It's a good idea at times to do this,gives the system a good clean out etc.

  • Just bought Vu Duo + Some Help Please ??

    This is the full instructions that come with the Ultimo user guide,i think the remote functions will depend on the type of remote that came with the Duo when you got it.The universal remote they refer to here has the keyboard on the back of it,this does not fuction with the duo,solo or uno.




    2-10. Remote Control Unit (RCU) Set-up
    Vu+ RCU is a universal RCU that can be used for TV and STB at the same time.
    A. User Guide of Vu+ Universal RCU
    Pre-note
    << >> means long press
    < > means normal press
    4 digit code can be found in the TV brand code list of the user manual.
    The new RCU of Vu+ is a universal type and you can control your Vu+ STB and TV at the same time. This
    universal RCU is a modeless design. While offering the basic control functions of your TV (TV Power,
    Volume +/-, Mute, AV), you can control STB without having to select mode between TV and STB every
    time. Compared to those universal RCU of mode selection types, the modeless universal RCU of Vu+ is
    clearly a smarter choice by eliminating unneeded control functions.



    1. TV setting
    Set-up Sequence: <<1 + 3>>, <4digit brand-code>, <<Mute or Power>>
    1. Press number 1and 3 for three seconds until LED is on.
    2. Find your TV brand-code from the TV code list and insert 4 digit code.
    - If you press “0000”, Full Automatic Scan will start. This will take a while.
    3. Keep Mute button (or Power) pressed until your TV is muted (or turned off).
    4. If your TV is muted (or turned off), stop pressing Mute button.
    5. Now, your RCU is in test mode and press Volume + /- to check if your TV responds.
    6. If the volume buttons are operational, Press <OK + STOP ( )> to escape from the set-up mode.



    2. AV setting
    AV button is for the selection of TV video source. AV button may be automatically set up depending on TV
    models. In case it is not automatically configured, please follow the instructions below.
    Set-up Sequence <<1 + 9>>, <<AV>>
    1. Press 1 and 9 for three seconds until LED is turned on.
    2. Keep AV button pressed until your TV responds and displays the video input source.
    3. If AV button is working, check if AV button is properly working several times.
    4. Press <OK + STOP ( )> to escape from the set-up mode.



    3. RCU Buttons for TV
    * Buttons for TV only: TV Power. AV
    * Buttons switchable between TV and STB: Volume +/ - and Mute
    - These buttons are for STB only before the RCU set-up is done.
    - It is switchable only after the configuration is done.
    * All the other buttons are for STB only
    4. Mode Switch of Volume + / - and Mute
    For the sake of easy volume control, please set the STB volume at 50% of the maximum level and set
    this level as the default volume level from STB. Then, you just have to control your TV volume only without
    having to adjust STB volume at the same time.
    Set-up Sequence: <<1 + 6>>, <9>, <9>, <3>, <TV Power or STB Power>
    1. Press 1and 6 for three seconds until LED is on.
    2. Press <9>, <9>, <3>.
    3. If you want to control of TV volume, press TV Power button. If you want to control STB volume, press
    STB Power button.
    5. Reset of TV Set-up



    In case you want to reset the configured TV set-up of your RCU,
    Press Sequence: <<1 + 6>>, <9>, <9>, <6>
    1. Press 1and 6 for three seconds until LED is on.
    2. Press <9>, <9>, <6>.
    3. This will reverse the RCU into no configuration state.
    6. System Code Change.
    You can change the system code of your Vu+ universal RCU according to the Vu+ model that you want to
    control. The default system code is Mode 2.
    Mode 1 : SOLO / DUO
    Mode 2 : UNO / Ultimo (*Note : The keyboard of Ultimo remote cannot be used for SOLO,DUO & UNO.)
    Mode 3 & 4 : reserved for future models.
    Press <<2 + 7>>, <HELP>, <0001 or 0002 or 0003 or 0004>
    1. Press 2 and 7 for three seconds until LED is on.
    2. Press HELP
    3. Press <0001 or 0002 or 0003 or 0004>

    If only someone had published a manual/guide for Blackhole bud,would be so much easier!!! lol


    But then where would the fun be in that, keep going with it the way your are buddy,trying things out & experimenting,remember when you have things the way you want them to make a backup of your image,Blackhole has a good backup tool installed in it,that way if you change do something wrong on the image you can just go back to when it was all good using your backup.


    The best part of this hobby is the learning curve,can be steep at times but keep at it!


    Just wait until you try a different image,all starts again!!!!


    Enjoy your box!

  • English Premier League on Vu+ Solo

    Quote from wabbitsquash

    can you please tell me if tuning to 16E and just inserting a Tring card in Vu+ solo is all that will be requried?



    You need to do a couple of other things too buddy,your Vu solo already has a card reader built in so why not use it,no need to go to more expense with a Conax cam.


    Here is a link for you; http://linuxsat-support.com/os…-1-3-tring-conax-ipk.html


    Have a look at this,if you were to install this ipk file then your would have CCCam installed & also Oscam,Oscam will read the card for you and the CCcam will allow you to view the Tring channels for which your card is for.


    One thing to be weary of with Tring though,occasionally you might be looking at a black screen for 3pm games,it has happened before.
