My two issues are "tune failed" time to time & noticed AGC still stuck on 40%

That won't be fixed by any update at all.
I suggest to have a thorough look at your dish-alignment/cables/connections/switches.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but i'm a little confused, does this mean we won't be able to upgrade a Vu+ Solo2 from 649 [stable] to the latest build, without doing a fresh flash and losing all our settings?

Or is it possible to do an upgrade to the latest image and then restore settings from a previous image backup?

Thanks!

Nick

you can but as the new image contains a new linux kernel and drivers it could cause issues with any number of things in the image, it is always recommended that you perform a fresh flash when moving between kernel versions for the stability of the image and receiver in question. you can still backup any important files such as your cam configuration files but you would need to reinstall any plugins used.

The tune failed issue i agree could be related to dish alignment. But ive heard the AGC issue is driver related. My mate also has solo2 and his AGC is also low on all chans. Vu not in any kinda rush to fix AGC issue as it doesnt affect performance. I enabled to allow unstable updates. Now on 664 seems ok if i get the tune failed again will have to get dish checked out.

The 'AGC issue' is only cosmetic: it relates to an utterly unimportant read-out and has no relation with the performance of the tuner. Use the SNR-value instead.
