Hi there

I wonder if anyone else has has this problem with their Vuo Uno.

I am using the latest BH 1.6.6 and I have done the FPGA update.

When my box comes out of standby after being left for a few hours I get no signal when I try to display a channel on the screen which was previously fine before the box was on standby.

If I reset my box (GUI restart) the channel comes back no problem but this causes a big problem as I can't use timer record.

I also get this problem when I use the media player for a period of time and then go back to watching a satellite channel.

My LNB and cable are fine as it's okay on another satellite box that I have.

Anyone have any ideas what is happenning ?

You most likely have the hard drive stopping/spinning down as it goes into stanby m8.
Failing that install Vix :-)

Cheers for the reply

Do you think if I reduce the time before the external HDD goes into standby then that might help ?

Give it a go, I have mine set to zero spin down m8, no lag changing channels etc.

How do I set it to zero spin down ?

All I can see is an option to set the length of time before the external HDD goes into stand by.

If I set the it to 0 under this setting it means the HDD drive is always "live"

Thanks for your help
