    Angry so far vu +duo is far worse than virgin/sky and feesat !

    In coming missile Hidden Content

    As some of you may or may not know I saved hard for a long time and bought myself a vu+duo, anyway, that was my choice as i was advice it was about the 2nd best box on the market without paying ?800 or sumit like that.

    Anyway, as of now, I am prepared to give the box a chance if someone can help me sort it out, the picture is shi*e, infact the wife was watching normal roof aerial tonight which is far better, i have serveral sources.

    freesat 100 times better, virgin HD 100 times better and even as i say the tv arerial terestrial (which isnt hd) is better.

    even the HD channels are very very crap looking, just look terrible, the picture in HD is so SOFT its unreal, ive tried turning the sharpness on the box up or down full, no difference, and ive tried turning the sharpness on the tv up and down full and same no difference, and ive tried both together, its so soft its like slightly out of focus, and when the sharpness too high its obviously just as bad or worse as sharpness up full is wrong.

    I tried my best to adjust settings on the box and my tv but nothing helped, i have included you a typical photo of what i'm on about.

    for the record my tv is a brand new panasonic TX-P50G10B.

    All the other new bits of hardware i have bought for the tv for example an upscaling ?50 philips HD, are excellent, Crystal clear, no need to set any settings.
    And the other boxs too, same thing, anything I buy new thats HDMI, plug in and just watch, everything is perfect.


    So, let hear how to sort this vu+duo. ??? PLEASE ?

    Even my old dreeambox standard definition 500c has a better picture and i'm not joking.

    Its sickened me so much that ive just plugged my built in freesat back in for now and the wife is happy, and so am I.

    I thought you had some nice guy that was helping you out on friday night ? did that happen and what were you advised ?

    Sorry that i haven't helped with my reply but it seems that everyone else who owns a vu duo are happy with it so maybe they'll be able to help you out with some things that you haven't tried yet ?

    Re: so far vu +duo is far worse than virgin/sky and feesat !

    1st off WOD is not responsible for who you buy your box from apart from the endorsed sponsor ! so don?t be going getting your knickers in a twist if things go wrong. Don?t come running complaining that you bought from a member from here, if you did it wasn?t done through the open forum where your posts were visible for all to see, you obviously bought through the PM system or other means so leave WOD out of it !!

    2nd as advised previously, everyone that purchases a vu duo seems to be happy with the purchase, no matter where it was purchased from so maybe you need to look a bit closer to home with your problems. But you would have got help here from the members that have the VU Duo.

    3rd watch your Fukcing French and your threats :Hidden Content :

    have you actually thought maybe its me?

    Nobody minds helping you but when you come on constantly demanding help and then ridiculing things just because they dont meet your "standards" it annoys people and therefore you get answers like this one,

    so it might be time to pull your head in a bit and relax Hidden Content
    I find it hard to relax mate, thats my key problem, I cant help it, thats just me, I',m the type thats very very hyperactive, so when things go wrong i going nutz, and if people help me in here or anywhere i am always very very appreciative for the help and i tell them that and i always hit the thanks button too.

    I'm just the type of guy you dont want to be near if i'm working on maybe building a pc and i start having trouble, Your best hiding away, LOL, sorry but thats just the way ive always been man.

    i even think youve helped me a lot and ive respected you enough to say thanks to, if you havent then fook it.

    yep gotta agree with that - but you do sometimes feel it is your right to vent it our way - just because you are a member of this forum, your personal problems should not really made 'our problem' by default.

    hey but we live with that..............

    Re: so far vu +duo is far worse than virgin/sky and feesat !

    Braveheart when you start kicking off on here, which you have done so many times, you really are the most obnoxious arse of anyone who posts on here!
    I know you have had some recent grief, but thats no ones fault on here!
    While I sympathize with you over that, it is not an excuse. When you feel so wound up simply don't bother coming on here to post!
    If you get so wound up so easily then maybe its about time you saw a doctor about it???
    You are an accident waiting to happen, always taking your problems out on here with anyone who can be bothered to read your insulting rants.
    See a doctor about your rages before you give yourself another heart attack, then we end up posting "such a shame you snuffed it, but you brought it on yourself".
    You should know by now that I will tell it as it is and not be gentle with you?
    I think I give fairly, like for like?
    We have spoken as friends before but I have to say I can't be bothered to read your unfair rants anymore. You bite the hands of people who try to help you on here.
    It's a good job I will never be a mod because you have gone too far with your attitude too many times and I would have banned you, Permanently! Hidden Content

    Well lets put it this way i know it was not from our official sponser.......

    And if the box is not working 100% i would be on the phone to this guy (which i know who it is) every two minutes untill it was sorted out.

    But to be honest i think the problem is that it just needs setting up as mine was not 100% for the first couple of days untill i got a good working image for it and all the Bouquets setup for what i needed it to do and now its on par with the skyHD box i have got.

    And finally please have a little respect for our members and staff on here, as this will go a long way in any of them helping you out with any of the problems you get in the furture.

    Regards Gazer

    Well said Diablo many many times i have sat here and read some posts that leave a lot to be desired and Braveheart yours take some beating.It would be nice to see you post some help sometimes rather than i need help on most posts you make. We are a great forum and most members will help when they can but ranting on here just puts members backs up and before long they wont want to help you so help yourself a bit and chill out you aint the only one with problems bro.

    Talking Re: so far vu +duo is far worse than virgin/sky and feesat !

    yea yea yea, Hidden Content , i know what you mean, i do help in a blue moon, but what puts me off helping in here is that every time i mention something i get slated for it, so do you honestly think for a minute i'm going to take that abuse ???

    no chance ! and thats why i dont really offer much advice.

    i have had arguments like this before and i dont want one again, i am happy with asking for help and only giving a wee bit very now and again, but the whole reason for that is because when i say something, i first of all get kicked to the ground and then swords stabbed into me one by one, i wont mention any names, but lets say theres a lots of the staff involved to sometimes.

    Thats how i feel, i feel picked on, singled out, all becuase you dont really have many posting members, thats exactly how i feel, victimised to a certain extent.

    so please just give me piece eh, i have tried in the past, and believe me i have so much knowledge about certain subjects that i could run various parts of this website, remember when you ask a lot of quiestions and take in the answers, the answers tend to stick in the brain, so yes, i could do many jobs, but wouldnt be interested because I just feel as if I have been treated like grabage sometimes, and i'm not the only person to have said this, i wont name names, but lets just say some members of staff have even got the knifes out for each other, and thats the truth, theres one thing about me, i dont Lie.

    Anyway, I need to go an get my clothes ready for my family members funeral, so I shall see you all sometime, thanks.


    ohh, and as ive said before ANYTIME I GET ADVICE OR HELP FROM ANYONE I ALWAYS HIT THE THANKS BUTTON OR SAY MY APPRICIATIONS. so whats the big deal, its a forum afterall.

    P.s
    ive been a member on here since the big split back in what was it, 2000, I cant just remember what happened and what caused it but I know that if including before the split, ive been a memember since something like april 2001, and i had so many posts and thanks that i was one of the highest rated members on the forum when it came to reputation points, Ive been on here longer in real terms than most of the staff and everything, but you wont hear them talk about that subject, for some reason it always gets brushed under the carpet, and I cant remember what the split was for with the other site either (which i wont mention the name of), but some people went one way and some went the other, i took the wise choice, i just joined both the sites after they split, it was A REAL shame to lose all those highly respected reputation points and have to start a fresh again on both sites after all those years.

    But they (the admin) dont seem to want to talk about why it all happened in the first place, thats thier prerogative , I dont care, be interesting though.

    And I was always a paying donated member too, thats another thing.

    I'm not saying this all to look for sympathy, I couldnt care less to be honest, more important things to deal with in my life at this minute in time, but I just thought I would let you know what the script was with me(again), and thats it. no harm done is there ?

    p.s
    box is working fine now, i dont think i had the hdmi cable in properly or it had loossend out.

    mate, listen, there was one main site from the start of 2000, then it split, they dont talk about it, i cant just remember and figure out who/what or why it happened, but there was one main site, it wasnt called wod, both sites changes names after the split obviously.

    but i'm not going to sit here and argue about it, I know, you obviously dont.

    just forget it, no harm done.
