vu+ duo

Gunther_Gloop

Well actually it did work. The problem was the 'channels' it showed as found were not what it found. Instead the new ones were already onscreen. I only had to press down arrow two or three times to scroll to the one I needed. There was no onscreen info for it though. So anyway, eventually it did work with these settings. Thanks lertsnim.

Short answer is I don't know.
Longer answer...
Do you still have the scart attached? Try detaching that and cycling through the hdmi channels. The tv could be getting the signal, just not auto-switching to it.

Assuming the clone works the same as the Duo itself, there's a menu setting to select which port to use for video output (on the Duo). ...How about running the wizard again?

There's also a menu option in there somewhere, now that I think of it, to use the hdmi port to signal to the telly to switch on/ off. I think that's called hdmi cec or something like that.

no took scart out reinstalled tv again paired box with tv but says no signal and black screen my hdmi port is at side of tv but when i scroll down menu it just says hdmi i select hdmi side again but still black how do i get back to install wizard witout installing new s/w again my hdmi lead wasnt long enough thats why i chose scart and i thought it would be easy just to select hdmi but not in this case its mad cos the minute i plug scart lead in again i have picture

There's a menu option (somewhere) to run the wizard. At least on the non-clone Duo there is.
I assume you have more than one hdmi port on your tv(?) Did you cycle through each of those ports to make sure it's not on?

It could be a faulty cable too of course.

...By the way, not trying to be smart, but if you could use full-stops it'd make it easier (for me) to read/understand your sentences.

got the vu+ duo and I am trying to set it up I have one query.I have vodafone broadband in the house and I have a modem set up beside my desktop.Can I use another modem on vu+ box.I cannot run an ethernet cable from the modem to the vu+ box.

Is it possible to do or should I use homeplugs.

Get yourself a homeplug, easiest and handiest way to sort it out, otherwise get yourself a wifi dongle for your box http://www.vuplus.com.au/wifi (like this) and you'll be able to move your box wherever you want.

The other option is to get a wifi bridge.

There's a good offer on Amazon at the moment (recommended them for my brother today) http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003L78F6U/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

The wifi dongle is great on the box (well on the ultimo) it shows up as a new network connection.

Sorry if this isn't the correct place to ask.

Does anyone know how to make a TV default to HDMI when you turn it on?TV is on HDMI viewing vu+ box , turn the tv to Standby, turn it back on and it goes to AV1. I then have to keep pressing the AV button to get to HDMI.

I use those for my upstairs receiver, they work perfectly and easy to setup

Just an FYI but I used HDMI over two CAT6 baluns to allow HDMI viewing in another room, worked well.

It depends on the tv and possibly the source device. If you're asking how to get the TV to automatically switch to the source extension your Duo is on, then there's an option for that in one of the menus (something like "Enable HDMI CEC").

You might find a similar option in your tv menu, or a "default source" at least. Similarly for other devices, although chances are you might not want the telly to automatically switch off just because you switch off, say, the Xbox.

I know it's not exactly the right place, but instead of trawling through reams of posts in reams of other threads I thought I might get away with a quick question here... If I was to buy a TV from another juristiction would I be safe enough to get one that has "DVB-T" built-in? ..I mean to be able to get Saorview direct? I realise it might not be MHEG5, but at least DVB-T should be able to pick up Saorview, right?

I wouldn't be too sure....
I have 2 DVB-T Tv's that can't do saorview due to being MPEG 2 only, I get audio only on those sets now.
Some DVB-T sets will do MPEG-4 video, your best bet is to check the model number against the compatibility thread over on the terrestrial forum I reckon.
