I'll check again when I get home.

OK, I have no "Online Update" menu item anywhere.

1. I have Menu - Setup - Software Update
This just runs the updater, no options here.



2. I have Menu - Setup -System - Software Update.
This gives me three options.
- Background Check
- Auto Settings Backup
- Auto Image Backup


System menu page 1



System menu page 2



System menu - Software Update Options



Nowhere do I see any options to allow unstable feeds. I used to have it, I remember using it during the past year. But in this latest version (VIX 3.1.1), I'm not seeing it.

On that last screen, you need to set 'background check' = 'yes' to reveal the additional options.

eureka! many thanks. Don't know why they hid that option behind background checks, surely it applies to background and attended checks. Anyway....onward!

Is there anything else other than the traix tri link that can be used for watching tv in another room for the Vu duo?

You can stream from the Vu+ to a PC or to another Enigma box.

Actually - if you are interested in distributing the signal via RF, you could also use an old VCR as a modulator. You would need a separate 'sky eye' to work the remote control remotely or alternatively (if you have wifi) use the enigmadrioid app on your smartphone to act as a remote control.

A video would work to show the picture but the VU-DUO will not work with a magic eye if u dont use a tri-link or similar product as it decodes and allows the magic eye to work. The magic eye comes with the tri-link.

Yes, you are right. I was thinking about those devices you stick over the IR receiver spot - but they need a decoder box too.

You could use something like this to translate the signal, some remote eye solution after that to change the channel, I have 1 of those modulators and they work perfectly but I didn't need it afterwards, I used an app on my phone as a remote by the way, I got it from an ebay seller from Germany for a bit cheaper than that.

A tri-link is exactly that its a modulator with a built in magic eye return path function......no need for anything else, there expensive but reliable and simple to setup.

Oh wow, what a great piece of kit, I was using an amp and a FS 140 (or something like that) with the modulator yoke, that tri-link looks very impressive.

U can connect the tri-link straight up to your f140 amp to split the signal for use with magic eyes to other rooms...it will power the amp for you.

to stream HD to a PC / TV what would the minimum spec of the router / cards be? Is there a special config required...or is it even possible?

Most of the time its not showing me whats on and other times if i want the epg of certain channels the epg of other channels comes up!!

Pissing me off not being able to see whats on. Any suggestions ??

its happened again. Came hpme from holidays and not showing anything when i press the epg button. Clareman helped me out before by just ticking 28.4 in the cross epg but checked and unchecked both .4 and .2 and nothing. Done hard resets etc and nothing

Any help

cheers

Should you not just check 28.4 and then press download(yellow button) and that updates the epg.Im sure thats all thats done on mine.

+1 on this.
go to crossEPG opentv providers and press yellow to download the EPG, then go into CrossEPG configuration and set the EPG to download daily automatically to keep your epg data current with no more intervention from yourself.

Is there a way of skipping forward by 24 hours on the EPG?

I am using Vix 3.0

Use the arrows either side of the zero key to go forwards/backwards one day.

Any idea of a page down button?

Also when in the guide I need to pres 'OK' twice otherwise it reverts to the previous channel. Very annoying, any way of changing this?

press 8 to go page down, and 2 to go page up

When you are in the epg press 'help' on the remote to see all the available keys... Very useful!

What does "ZAP" mean?I have seen it on some of the menus .

I'm looking for a box at the moment and I'm wondering if the vu+ range might be the right choice. The box is not for me, but I'll be setting it up. I don't care how hard it is to setup (within reason). However, I do need it to be very easy to use when setup, including recording to the HDD, and I also need it to have good subtitle support. If I can telnet/ssh/http into the box and make changes then all the better. Do the vu+ boxes fit the bill or are they too difficult to use even when set up? It would be all the better if it has a "simple" mode, where you can just watch tv and record, you don't even get shown the settings.
