VUDUO 2

[donkeyboy]

Evening gents
its been a while for me on this site
but im popping back coz I need to ask a question please chaps
I have duo2 and want to know if its worth me putting a dvb/c tuner in it and would I be able to scan VM to get there channels again like I used to on my old Dbox 2 (which I still have )

thanks gents for your time

yes duo 2 works on cable with cable tuner and the other thing we cant talk about.

As long as your Cable Feed is still active which i assume it is your good to go, You have 2 options of tuners for the Duo2 there is the standard DVB-C/T for around ?33 or the latest version which is DVB-C/T/T2 the added addition of the T2 which gives you Freeview HD if required retails at around ?49. I opted for the T2 version just for the extra HD option on terrestrial but for Cable both Tuners work identical

@digicon
can I PM you buddy

With the latest ViX, their Autobouquets maker does scan for cable in most areas. For BH images, you can use Lraizers Autobouquets for cable

what I really need to know is will it work straight away channels etc etc or do I need to get jigy with it to make the magic happen but we cant talk about it so if any one would like to PM me with more info it would be gratefully appreciated

cheers donkeboy

When you have the Tuner your better off asking then, I personally am running Blackhole on an Ultimo with the DVB-C/T/T2 tuner in there the box recognised it straight off, All i had to do was upload a cable.xml file to the correct folder and then do a Brute Force Scan with the cable feed attached and bingo all relevant channels appeared.

@digicon... yes i got that setup with the cable tuner on my ultimo along with the sat tuners, i just cant get the autoboquets to work, i can load the plugin then run it, it creates the boqueits, but you cant watch the channels inside the relevant bouqets..it creates the boquets in the same section as where the sat boquets are which i hget using rats dW channel updater..do you use this as cable boquet maker AutoBouquets_C2_UltraLite_201406011500 ?

@pongo,

Sorry no i dont as i have tried Laraizers Autobouquet which is suppose to integrate the Cable side in with the Satellite side but so far it will not work, I cant use it separately as i have 2 feeds fom a Multi dish with 4 sats then on the single tuner i have a motorised dish feed then the cable feed. Only way i have found is to do a scan and then use DBedit to sort out the Cable side.

Cheers digicon buddy
I take it it will all be HD aswell

Yes the HD is there

I use the Cable Autobouquets first which puts the Cable bouquets at the top of the list, then the Sat Autobouquets to put the Sat ones on top. I did modify the Cable AB script to name the bouquets as Cable so I could easily tell the difference.

is there such a tuner for the original vu+ duo?

[cactikid]

yes as its a usb stick plugin to spare usb port on any e2 box,unsure if it would work with solo or max digital 1 single usb port as where would epg/swapfile be used.
not sure would a 4-1 usb would work ?
