    rebooted it

    update on this
    tried openvix 166 and that failed, also tried several others

    I tried the original vix not the openvix and that seamed to install and work, so I'm guessing its software not hardware
    any suggestions????

    hope its not a clone, paid full pops for it from a sponsor off here world of satellite I believe
    just tried loading blackhole, its got further, it went through boot, and now its on a blue Vu+ Black Hole screen... in the bottom corner it says Starting gui, but its been on this screen about 10 minutes now, so I'm assuming that's failed too

    Hi jedex

    If you keep on having problems with this box
    I would say get hold of world of satellite were you got it from
    and just explain the situation you are having with it.
    I think they will help you get this back up and running

    Regards Gazer

    message sent to the sore and their forum
    I bought my Vu from here around a year ago, excellent machine but the software has always bee a tad glitchy, but flashing usually improved it a little.

    I noticed more updates so I flashed again Openvix 1.66
    Everything appeared to go smooth and got the remove usb and reboot message

    on rebooting it wont start up, just a message >Starting... and nothing else.
    I've tried several different versions of the software and its the same every time

    I tried the original Vix software and that worked fine, so I tried again with Openvix and it stopped at the same place
    I've even tried Blackhole.. that went OK, went through all the booting screens but as soon as it got to the starting gui screen froze there

    I've tried different flash drives etc.

    Any help appreciated

    When you flashed blackhole on and it said starting gui did you press the menu button and did anything come up or did it just hang on the blackhole screen?
    what version of duo is it v2 or v3 it should say on the white sticker on the back of the box

    I would suggest you update the bootloader before flashing the newer images wont work otherwise.

    Then try reflash the image again delete bootloader off the usb stick 1st.


    Latest loader attached for VU+DUO

    well would you believe it fixed itself
    i was at work and wife said it kicked in on its own
    everything seems ok apart from a few channels say tuning failed
    just need to look up how to fix that and we're off again

    thanks for your help
