VU + DUO Freezing

[mark T]

I dont know how to map it or what you mean by configure crosspeg. Im really pulling my hair out over this

another thing Ive found, when go into epg setttings and click on a UK provider it comes up with red-settings, green-channels and yellow-download now. If I press yellow the screen freezes saying please wait for the download to complete. I left it doing this for 12 hrs and still nothing happened. If I press the green for channels 4 little blue squares start moving on the corner of the screeen then the screen goes completly green saying that there is a software error and has to close

which image are you using and it's probably best to upload those generated crash logs to the team in questions forum so they can take a look and see why it's crashing.

Hi, all I can find is BLACK HOLE and DREAM ELITE. like I said im new to this box and to be honest im finding it very hard work. the dealer has offered to have it back to check it but that means having to send it back in the post this close to xmas. Ive done what people have told me even with the usb stick. I dont know what else to try. So any help this site can give would be great as Im that close to go back to my Nannoxx

After pressing Red (MountPoints), you use the right arrow button (the round one) to scroll through the different mount points. Chosse the appropriate one, then press Red again to Save.


Menu -> Information -> About

will tell you waht image and version you are running.

If you are using Dream Elite Black Hole image it is so old it is almost antique.
I suggest you update your box with a newer image.
The latest BH 1.66 requires a bootloader update so make sure you follow the instructions correctly.

last night I restored all the automatic epg settings to no and to hhd, rebotted then said yes to 1 UK provider and set it to refresh at 23.20. At 23.30 nothing had changed, no epg. I tried it again in the morning, still no epg. 10 mins ago I tried it and its working, Strange?. IM a bit wary about deleting and adding new programs like this BH 1.66, everything I touch lately messes up and Im worried I may lose everything. This receiver was set up by the dealer for me so all I had to do was plug and plug. Where do I find the bootloader for BH1.66 and where would i find help in how to use and install it. Thanks for all your help and I again appologise for all the questions and problems

These boxes (or any linux based sat receivers) aren't really plug and play, as they will always need some sort of updating and/or maintenance.
Fortunately updating the box is quite easy, and all the info you need you can find on this forum. Backup anything you want to keep before flashing any new image.

alternatively you could also try the new ViX 2.3 image

Thanks, my mate is down over xmas so I wait until then to have a go at it. Pheonix mentioned VIX 2.3, in your opinion which program is better/easier to install or use

 

[mark T]

Thanks for all your help, i'll have a look at both of them. All this to watch a bit of decent tv

Yes try both and make your own mind up, although I will say that in my opinion the support offered by both VIX and BH are miles and miles ahead of any other team or image out there.

Not just support but the constant development by both teams. :thumbsup:

Totally agreed, there are always new developments going on behind the scenes.
