My Vu+ Duo2 is running quite well on OpenVix, and it has been for years. I did have to replace the power supply capacitors, but it's fine now.
As of energy prices these days I'd like to get the Vu+ in deep stand by, and wake up in time for timers.
I read about this Power Manager, but I can't find it (dates back to 2011). Is there such thing still in existence?

Or any tips for another receiver that:

Has (the option for) 2 DVB-C FBC tuners
Can house a 3,5" hard drive
Uses less energy
Has a better remote control

Doesn't need to be a Vu+

Deep standby uses less than 0.5W (by EU legislation)
A box will wake up from deep standby to perform a recording
You can configure a recording timer to go back into deep standby after a recording
You can configure the box to go into deep standby if you don't touch the remote for, say, 2 hours.
You can configure the box to go into deep standby at anytime during the day, say at midnight.

Look at menu -> timers -> power timers.

Cool, thanks, I will look into this. I always used "normal" stand-by, but it draws quite a bit of power.
