    Hi folks,

    I have an VU Plus internal tuner on the way for a my VU Solo 4k for Saorview. Apart from opening the box and installing are there any other drivers etc required? Running latest version of Open ATV image.

    Cheers,
    Mick

    No, reboot by using switch at rear and it will be recognised, then you go to tuner config and set it to t2 as it will probably be at c for cable.

    Tuner came today and installed. Configured and scanned. I am getting some breakup though on channels from time to time. SNR is 99 percent. I dont think its the aerial as its fine via TV... im passing through aerial from VU tuner to TV

    There are a few things you can do but it could be dodgy tuner. I would re-seat the tuner, check the coax lead in. Reboot box and then do a re-scan and save. Take out lead to tv for a little while. What image are you usIng?

    I had a problem with a solo2 and play tv and it required a re-boot but when I changed image that went away BUT there are times I get slight breakup. I dont watch a lot of rte etc so not bothered but I have 2 aerials and the other is fine.

    If it persists I'd be inclined to blame tuner.

    ok... using open atv latest image... probably from some day last week. Watched for about 30 minutes and seems fine... i actually picked up a play tuner and was getting a bit of breakup to.. thats out now.. i removed the play tuner and driver before adding the new tuner. I will keep eye on it. Probably only really watch rte for the news and late late show... yes i know.. dont ask
