Looks like a nice HDD, but perhaps it's the drive itself? You'll need to try it on a pc I guess to ensure it's working. Let me/ us know how it goes.

VIX doesn't even see the drive let alone initialise it!

format to fat32, using link below, then put hd into vuduo and format to linux ex3.

Have tried VTI, VIX, Open Pli

Anyone any ideas, other than removing and inserting in another machine to format

That's the one I have, works very well.

Have you tried mounting/formatting via telnet? I can't remember the commands off-hand, but there's a load of them listed on the WOS/Vix support forum.

Possibly, though mine seemed to like doing it even when I had picons on USB pendrive (maybe EPG or something was at fault). Along with the fact the HDD is probably wound down due to inactivity.

I have my HDD going to sleep after 4 hours inactive now, less annoying.

On another note - I have now added a Powered USB hub to my Vu+, in the vain hope of making the NovaT stick reliable. Still think it's the image, or driver therein, but gonna rule out power issues.

Nope, powered USB hub didn't make any noticeable difference. NovaT still crashes.

Anyone know a good supplier for the fan control hardware ?

[Gunther_Gloop]

What's "the fan control hardware"?

Hi mate sorry to hear about your issues with nova t.
Try removing your nova t tuner and going to menu/plugins and press red to remove. Scroll to dvb and remove the nova.driver. insert your nova tuner back in rear usb and reboot.
Next download then italysatdtt driver for duo from here http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?8329-Panel-DTT-for-all-E2-images-for-dreambox-and-VU&highlight=italysat
Ftp it to var/volatile/tmp and install VIA ipk installer in vix menu. Then install italysat driver.
Reboot and your nova t problems shall be no more

(hopefully LOL)

Lads - I'm using the latest version of Vix - like everyone here I love it....

One issue though with recording - the odd time when I've a timer set up I get

"In order to record a timer, the tv was switch to the recording service" .

Looks like it's not picking up the HDD though I can play recorded files. (I've a samsung F2 1.5TB drive)

Only way or resolving is a cold boot which then results in loosing the epg (till the daily update)

Any ideas?

Funkyzeit, Ive been searching the web on this very issue. Ive seen it 3-4 times in the last 2 weeks. Had it last night too. Had to do a full restart on the box to get it back to work. I dont know whats causing it though but its bloody annoying. I have also seen the EPG go as well when rebooting on this issue. Also the EPG failing to download, this I traced down to the usb key where the epg is was going to RO instead of RW. I also read on another site that the "In order to record a timer" issue might be something to do with folder permissions. If so something in VIX or PLi is throwing a wobbler on permissions. Nothing appearing though on VIX Site on it.

Hmm, thanks for the info, Chris.

I'll try that when I return from hols.

[dnme]

Using the MyTubePlayer plugin. When I fire up the on screen keyboard (blue) and type a search phrase, it returns a dialog with search results. However this dialog does not seem to have focus. No matter what keys I try, The only one that it responds to is 'ok'. Can anyone tell me how do I scroll the list up and down?

I have tried everything.

[azzeretti]

I am thinking of getting a Vu+ solo as my clone DM800HD is doing my head in (dodgy reader, dodgy tuner, dodgy kit!). Anyway, as this box runs E2 does anyone know if it would take a restore of a DM image dump? I particuarly don't want to setup all my motor setting again.

Also, there is no place for an internal drive on the Solo.
Does anyone have any experience with an external USB drive?
Will the Solo power it?
Is the read/write speed good enough?

[irishgeo]

just a quick query, if i add a timer for say "top gear 1 of 8" in the description

will it record all 8 of them?

or is it better just to add top gear?
