It acts as if only a single feed is set up.

Well, if only the channels on the one TP are available and all others are greyed out, then that points to a firmware issue, rather than anything wrong with your hardware.

I presume that the same thing happens if you decide to record something from 13E, for example, all other channels on the other tuner (e.g. 9e, 28e, 16e and 4.8e), are similarly 'greyed out'?

What stumps me is that while this behaviour is displayed regardless of settings on the .679 build when I revert to an older build (.534) the issue does not occur whatsoever.

That would appear to confirm this is a bug in the firmware.

what happens if you stream a channel over the webif, and then try to view another channel on your tv?

If I try to stream anything from a different TP or tuner it just fails out(Unless its the USB tuner).
I'm going to assume that the issue with this was caused by some from some file or directory becoming corrupted during my initial upgrade to .679.

I have flashed a clean .679 build and and ran a fresh install with no settings backup restoed and it is working fine now.

I flagged this issue to Andy on WOS and I have a backup of the initial .679 image with the issue and the issue is verifiable and repeatable on that....
But Andy has his hands full, and the likelihood is that it was some corruption somewhere on my side that caused this glitch rather than an image bug.

Two questions for you.

1. Where do I place my cccam.cfg file?
2. Is the VIX image still being updated? What is everyone using on their VU Duo's these days?

Thanks

1. CCcam.cfg normally goes in /etc
2. Yes, VIX still being updated
Don't have a Duo, but VIX or BH seem to most popular images

Many thanks, do you know where VIX can be downloaded from? If I remember, it had its own website but I cannot find it now.

Yea I remember that site, but I seem to recall that they then opened up a dedicated VIX url ?? Anyway, seems that the latest VIX image on the website you posted, is dated August 2012 so I wonder if work on the image has ground to a halt?

Need to open your eyes a bit:P
Look across top menu bar for 'VIX Images'

Trusty vu+ duo being brought back into service after a year in storage (renovations), would anyone be able to share a bouquet for 28.2 including three rock saorview pls?

Thanks for link above to current vix.

If you are using the current VIX you have no need for a 28.2 bouquet as the Autobouquets maker will create and keep up to date a bouquet for you.
Press Menu>Setup>Service Searching>Autobouquets Maker
Then you can select your Region including NI\ROI and any UK region preferred, enable HD swap, create seperate bouquets for Entertainment, Movies, Sports, etc. and set it to run automatically to update channels automatically.
As for the 3 rock saorview bouquet, just run a manual scan on your DVB-T tuner on 738mhz with the step interval changed to 8mhz the scan will create a bouquet for you in last scanned and you can just rename it to Irish DTT via your remote.

During the VIX setup wizard, there is a screen which lets you adjust horizontal & vertical. At the time, it didn't look like I needed to make any changes, but I see now that I should have tweaked it a bit. How in the world do I get back into that menu?

Have tried

Setup/System/A/V Settings, Display, Customize ? No sign of those settings, but they must be somewhere!

Separately, I wanted to check the new sat cables I've run in, and went to Satfinder. It crashed the box, black screen, and this has happened twice now, including a reflash with the latest VIX. Anything better to do than just trying it again?

If you are getting a message about config files then you are most likely missing files from whichever softcam you are trying to use.
i.e cccam, mgcamd, newcam or oscam.
If you give an outline of what you are trying to do and what cam you are using, have you edited and input your boxkey? and setup any required config file?(While remembering any CS talk is against the rules)
I'm sure someone here can help get ya up and running.

mailburner · 30-06-2013 3:57pm

got sorted about an hour ago

thanks very much lads

I am trying to SFTP to my vu duo but it wont let me.

It says 'cannot intialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running a SFTP server? ' and closes the connection.

Can anybody tell me what im doing wrong? I looked for any settings on the box with SFTP but i found nothing. The box is running a FTP panel.

banie01 · 21-07-2013 12:30pm

Folks,
I'm having an issue with my Duo lately where when I'm watching a channel where the picture will freeze and a ''tune failed'' message will appear for a few seconds before the picture resumes as normal.

It's most definitely not a card or Cam issue.
I've ruled out the Diseqc switches and the LNBs(Swapped in some new ones but anyway its unlikely that 7 LNBs and 2 Switches would all fail at once)
If I had to guess at what the cause is, I would nearly guess at blown capacitors(Similar to the SkyHD Thomson issue??)
But I'm just wondering has anyone encountered similar?
Is it a known issue?
Before I crack her open to check it out?

Mr Guinness. · 21-07-2013 5:52pm

I had no problem like that with my vu.

Nope, Genuine Vu+
It's approaching 3yrs old now, I'm starting to thing it may be a capacitor or PSU issue as I'm getting a lot of hanging\spinning timers too lately.
Aside from the tuner issue.
Its getting to the stage where i could have a spinner on screen for 20 minutes

needing a hard reboot to sort out.

Short answer is Re-image. Corrupt or dodgy software perhaps. Are you using the HDD in universe mode to speed it up. Check that the drive is not fragged. Update the Kernel drivers etc.

Its a pain in the ass but at least you will have a cleaner system.

Are you using blackhole or Vix ?

Clean Install already done and indeed redone with no backup restored.
Hard drive of 1TB installed only used for movies\storage.
Picons, EPG, Timeshift and swapfile all running from USB.
Drive fragmentation(Its not BTW) would have no effect on system performance in my setup apart from movie playback.
Drivers and Kernel all running latest updates.
I'm fairly certain that this isn't an image\software issue and the longer the issue persists the more it strikes me as similar to Thomson HD box psu problem.
I'll dig out a multimeter and give it a check in the next few days.
I may just try and source a replacement PSU in any case.

sammyano · 17-08-2013 12:28pm

Hello guys, just wondering if anyone has tried Wintv nova-t on Azbox HD running OpenATV 3.0
I have installed the driver dib0700 and can see the tuner, my problem is that its unable to scan any channel. I have tried during both single / complete transponder scan with no luck. It work Ok the the laptop. please any suggestion(s) welcomed

thanks in advance

swoofer · 17-08-2013 2:15pm

sammy this is a duo thread, put your post on a separate thread and get it seen better.

banieo1 did you sort the PSU ? or get a fix?

I've swapped the PSU, but after checking every cap on the old one I'm airly certain it wasn't/isn't a PSU issue.

The issue has reduced a lot in the mean time but this really must be a placebo effect.
I'm thinking it may be a tuner issue with the higher SNR channels as other than I am a complete loss as to whats up.

I'm having a bit of trouble with my vu duo.When I go to record on rte1 the screen Goes blank and so does rte1,rte2,tang and tv3.all other channells work fine.the programe I'm trying to record will not.would anybody know if it is a tuner Configuration Problem?

Haven't seen that issue myself, although I did have an issue with the Duo when accessing the irish channels via DVB-T and going black. What image are you running?

Black hole that's as much as I know.its strange because when I try to record on rte1 the Program I'm recording is on the Timer.when I press play its showing a blank Screen.then when I delete it all the Irish stations come back on.

Hi, have a Vu Duo running VIX and just started using the inbuilt auto bouquet maker (not Lraizer verson), my problem is everytime it does the automatic scan I lose my Saorview channels through the USB tuner. Does anyone know how I set this up so as not to keep losing the channels from USB tuner? Thanks for any help.

I've had the same issue since ABM was released - raised it on the VIX board and got no resolution. A quick manual scan of the tuner on frequency 546000 bandwidth 8mhz should find all the Saorview channels in a few seconds (at least that's the frequency for where I am - south west Dublin)

Possibly early signs that your HDD is failing, bad clusters etc? Search for running a disk check from telnet, or someone here might have the commands to hand. I haven't had to do it myself, but it seems you need to unmount the disk first, then run fschk. It's possible enigma2 runs this at startup, I'm not sure, maybe you should check your logs.

If so why not use VLC for Android...
