Duo Stuck on Vix 3.0 Startup Screen.

[Osamo1956]

Hi,
I left a post yesterday saying how pleased I was with my new Duo. I think I tempted fate:
Today on starting the box it gets stuck on the opening vix screen. Then nothing. Remote cant function.
So I powered off for 20 minutes. Restarted. Same thing. Tried this twice to the same effect.

The only thing I can think that 'might' be a cause is that last night I changed the settings so that it went into the deep standby after (I think) 1am.
I'm a total novice. ...and now totally clueless as to what to do.
Hope rescue is at hand. Thanks in advance.

Vix 3.0 VU+ Duo HD.

Hi mate

Before you do that make sure you disconnect any usb device then reboot this should unlock the remote problem, if that dont help and you have an internal hdd then unplug that too see if that will free the receiver, reason for vix splash screen could be receiver is not tuned to the right satellite on boot up happens if you have a motor system and had been looking at a different bird before the last power down as it will revert back to previous setting.

Just a word, i had my Duo (Not A Clone) stuck on the splash screen, with VIX logo Spinning, trying to boot. Did a full flash. Sorted, but very time it crashed back to square one, stuck on splash screen. Flashed it again and again. same thing. Flashed the bootloader. All seems to be well.

All this happened when i inserted a Netgaer USB wifi Dongle WNDA3100, "manufacture refurbished" from ebay. the dongle works fine on PC's The duo did not like it one bit.
