[VU+ Duo] crashing

[jth]

i have a vu duo and i only use free sat and iptv on it
it suddenly has a vix spinning top left and cant change channel
i end up having to turn it off at the back
then once i switch it back on it goes to black error screen.
any ideas guys?
ive been using original vu and vix for a long time
but this is getting to me now.

Probably trying to do something and running out of resources.



Do you have a swap file active and enabled?

You need to create a swap file for your ageing receiver. Blue button > ViX > Swap Manager. Create a 256mb swap file to your HDD. Make sure its active & runs on autostart.

Basically, it's just a way of swapping out blocks of RAM to disc when the system is running low.

It just runs in the background, you never need to do anything with it.

If you're not having problems, then probably no. Someone, I'm sure, will be able to advise.
