if you mean configurations, i think yes, but even if they were not setup correctly if i'm putting an image it will ask to setup again everything.
fyi the tuners were already installed pshisically on the box so i have not touvhed them.

What i meant was when you installed Vix, you then need to tell tuners what to tune into i.e Astra 28.2E and what mode ie. Simple etc.
If this not setup you will only get a black screen as described.

Just a thought.

With the vix image the same problem. i dont see nothing on the tv screen except black screen.

Can you access the menu

i have installed the vix image. What i see is only black screen. I cant access menu or nothing. The decoder shows totally black screen!! Nothing else!!!

If i put an official image, i see on the screen only "Vu+ your Smart Linux TV player" and it is stucked there!

no nothing! totally black screen...
as written previosly If i put an official image, i see on the screen only "Vu+ your Smart Linux TV player" and it is stucked there!

That means the box doesn't boot.
Do you have an internal HDD? If so, let the box run for half an hour or so. It is possible that something is wrong with the HDD (or that Linux thinks there is) and that a check is being carried out. That can take quite a while.
If you have no internal HDD, and are sure that no external devices are connected, then only a bootlog can shed some light. You would need a serial cable for that.

No HDD installed! No other devices connected except the hdmi cable, power cable and lnb cable.
Suppose i have a serial cable. What to do? what program to use in order to get the bootlog data?

putty to get boot log

 

[albgen]

putty to get boot log

linux is already booted in this phase or no? I'm asking this to understand if i connect with the LAB cable will get the ip address?

 

[Rob van der Does]

No, Linux doesn't boot in your case. The bootlog is specifically about the time before and during Linux boot.

 

[albgen]

i have this serail cable http://www.ewent-online.com/index.p...oduct&categoryid=10&groupid=92&productid=1469
It is installed properly on windows and i see it as COM10.
I connect the VU with this cable and my computer but nothing. Can't even connect...
i'm so unlucky

 

[Rob van der Does]

Did you use a program like 'Putty'? You should open a putty-session and then power on the box.

 

[albgen]

Yes with putty bu no sign of working. ..what are the settings? Bitrate, parity...etc
