[VU+ Solo2] RCU response very slow on EPG and bouquet list - anybody HELP

[arnie2014]

Hi all

I have the VU+ solo2 box running Blackhole and iv noticed an issue with it.

when I enter the EPG or the Bouquet ( channel list) and I want to go down the list or change channel for some reason the remote will not respond. I have to either press the UP or DOWN button hard or like about 10x just to get it to go to another channel in the list.

Does anybody know what the issue could be here, iv tried a lot of things to try and resolve it but nothing seems to work.

iv turned the energy saving feature on my plasma TV encase that interferes
iv checked the IR blaster in the box is OK
iv turned any things off I don't use in boot up in the blue panel
iv changed battery's in the remote

the EGP or bouquet is the only parts where the remote doesn't respond

does anybody know what the issue could be please

iv looked at that iv tried putting tape on the sensor, turning energy saving on and off on my LG plasma tv

I did try changing the code in the settings but I cant seem to change the code, I hold 2 + 7 but the red LED only lights whilst I hold them but then I press help nothing happens so I try and enter the code but nothing just shows that square symbol with a line through it

its current on code 2 - is this the correct or wrong code?

Have you picons on the hard drive?

yes I do, they are stored in flash I believe

but I think they are not the problem,

Code 2 is the right setting for solo2. It is worth trying the other codes. Sorry, but I don't know why you can't change it, you seem to be doing it correctly, hold 2 and 7 untill led is on, then help, then enter 001, 003 or 004

when your pressing 2 + 7 do you press help as well as 2 + 7 or do you let go of them then press help

Just hold down 2 and 7 untill led comes on (about 5 secs) , then help

iv tried that but when I click help nothing happens or even sometimes it brings up some weird screen looks like a screen where it should show my recordings etc

I carnt see it being the picons though

also if the code is correct then I don't know what else could be causing the problem, could it be an EPG issue?

If you have picons on the hard drive the drive has to wake up to display the picons causing a delay. If the picons are in the internal flash then it wont be an issue. Have you tried changing channels with your plasma turned off at the mains? You will be able to see enough on the front display to see if the channel is changing or not - this is to see if it is the tv or not. Also is it a genuine solo2?

If the picons are stored on the HDD it can easily add 5 seconds or more to the normal channel zap time, as the HDD has to spin up every single time you so much as pull up the EPG or change a channel up to display the picon.

my picons are stored on flash, iv tried deleting my EPG.dat file, reinstalled the image etc

could it be a EGP or bouquet issue?

Where is the EPG stored ?. If it's stored on the flash move it to the HDD or a USB stick.

Arnie. To eliminate possible plasma interference. Swtch off your TV, then press the "up" button to go into the bouquet, then press the "down" button a few times and see if the channel name changes as you do so on the lcd screen.

Hi just tried that and its exactly the same as if the tv was on, basically I always have to press the buttons on the remote quick hard to get a response. I should be able just to press them normally shouldn't I,

Did you try changing the remote code (default = 2, try 3 or 4)?
