    Best Image?

    Im looking to purchase a Vu+ Duo but not sure what image to get on it. I currently have a DM500s on OpenPLI image.

    My main requirements for the image are a good EPG and Simple & fast.

    Im only using it for 28.2E so not after anything fancy or complex. Reading a few threads, VIX image seems to fill my requirements. Any views?

      image is down to personal choice... i use blackhole but seeing as you are coming from open-pli on your dm500 then vix should be to your liking as its based on open-pli although theres an open-pli image for the duo also,regards mdt

                  yes i prefer BH images over vix anytime...at present have bh 1.7.8 on my genuine vu duo and 1.7.5 on my clone...although i read bh 1.7.2 is the most stable image...might try that on my clone..

                      Thank you for all the comments.

                      What is the reason for reccomending the images that you have? What is the EPG like on BH and VIX?

                          vix for me on original duo 3.0.pretty stable plenty of support and usually if there is a problem update sorts it pretty quickly thanks to the vix team.

                              vix, prefer the button layout and epg style. also default vix night skin is simple and clear. most importantly the whole setup is wife friendly, so everyones a winner

                                  Another vote for Blackhole here have 1.7.8 on my Uno and 1.7.2 on my Clone solo, the reason for Blackhole 1.7.8 its the only image at present that supports hbbtv mode on different satellites, something sadly lacking from other images

                                      On the subject of BH 1.7.8 I just installed the vanilla release without HBBTV and then separately installed tspanel from an ipk in order to get cams etc onto the box. All working ok except for some reason it crashes when i flip onto HD sources. A couple of questions really.

                                      Are there any pre-reqs when installing. I've read that some images require a bootloader extension first? I've just bought a genuine (latest model with black remote) Duo from a well known supplier. I went for BH as I've been using the older version on my DM800 for the last few years with very few issues.

                                      Anyhow I'm planning to start over again and re-flash from the start to see what the score is.

                                      Any pointers appreciated.

                                      ta.
