[Andy_Hazza]

ok thanks, which image would you reccommend that i install, just one question after doing the setup wizard, when required to add channel list where do i get the latest channel lists? and also how do i add them into the box, i have dreambox control centre installed.

thanks a lot mate. can i just ask do i put the usb while the box is on like normal or would i have to factory reset?

 

[Andy_Hazza]

Just like normal, turn box off at the back (rocker switch), insert usb and then turn back on and the box will flash the image. After a few minutes will ask you to remove usb n reboot (turn off at the rocker switch n back on again) and then you are at the process of setting your box up.
I also advise you to setup a swap file, as the Vu+ Duo lacks internal flash memory and having a 256mb swap file will help greatly.

And one more thing what is a bootloader? and would i be required to use this?

 

[Andy_Hazza]

No bootloader will be required. Try without first and see how you get on.

hi mate, i have managed to do everything fine. thanks for your help ever so much. and everyone else

 

[Andy_Hazza]

Thats great mate. You used ABM for your channel list? Did you setup a swap file, as I feel its essential on a Vu+ Duo you have one? To setup a swap file press the blue button, ViX, Swap Manager, blue button to create, go with the 256mb option to your HDD. After a few minutes, press the yellow button to AUTOSTART and then the green button to ACTIVATE. Then exit to come out. A swap file will help with CrossEPG etc.

hi mates, yes i used ABM for my channel list. i did not create a swaplist? what is it?

 

[Andy_Hazza]

The Duo lacks internal flash memory and setting a "Swap File" up will give your receiver a memory boost. If you have CrossEPG setup and you do a blue button and a CrossEPG downloader do you find it gets stuck reading data etc? I cannot stress how much it will greatly improve your receiver, but everyone to themselves.
