Ordered my first VU SOLO2

[Smurf786]

Not looking so good... Got the box firstly wouldn't respond to the remote have to keep pressing the button to finally get any response. I managed to load vix booted up and sent channel list and rebooted but still nothing and box was hanging. Not impressed i think i have a faulty box.

Do you have a plasma tv? Some people have experienced interference form there plasma tv which affects the working of the remote.

As a matter of fact i do mate so what i done was moved the box to the other room where i got an LED tv and voila the remote now works perfect.

Think your right septicsmurf.

I had the same issue with my dm800 hence why i upgraded to vu+. I'm going to try moving the box to the lower section of my stand and see how i get on.

Anything else i can try?

Also i got latest vix image where can i find the iplayer, itv player etc? I got vix 3.0 latest feb update how can i update the epg?

Thanks

Some people got a bit of tape and stuck it on the remote sensor in the box which seems to filter out the interference.

Try the OE-Alliance OnDemand player, it has a highly updated version of the BBCiplayer plugin built in.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^anyone^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

icefilms and bbc iplayer goes here:
usr/lib/enigma2/python/plugins/extensions

IPK goes to /tmp then blue button > vix > install local extension.

Right guys been busy so only had the chance today to play with the box.

I've had to place a piece of paper over the IR sensor to get it to work.

I placed a hard drive into it and after a few days powered it on and it was stuck on starting... Just wouldn't boot up. Re-installed vix and back up and running again.

I transferred my channel list that was working on my dm800. Now when i try to view ITV central west HD or anything on frequency 10936 V i get Tune Failed!

I tried to do a manual scan to find the channel and the FEC is 8/9 but the most it goes upto is 7/8? I tried auto FEC aswell but still finds no channels on that frequency. Aaaaggghhhhh...

Not getting on with this box so far....

[Smurf786]

UPDATE:
I went back into manual scan tried all FEC and it only went up to 7/8 and wouldn?t find the channels on that frequency.

I then went on the first line pressed right and it changed DVB-S to DVB-S2. It then gave me FEC 8/9 rescanned on that frequency and the channels are now working.

So anyone having the same or similar problem just try that.
Thanks

Hi Guys,
How do I change the location of all my downloaded items to be saved onto HDD and not the flash. I downloaded icefilms plugin and got an error but I think this is due to me not changing the location of where I want the downloaded item to be saved to?

Many Thanks
