vu+ duo

I just thought of another "inconsequential thing I meant to ask before now"... in the epg, does anyone know of a way to page down?

Left/right can be used to page up/down in the TV Listing screen, I know.
Arrow right/left can be used to skip to tomorrow/yesterday in the epg, I know.

But how can I PAGE DOWN/ UP in the epg?

When I press the epg button, I get the list of the current bouquet, and with the channel +/- buttons, I can select different bouquets.

not sure (can't remember) what is shown if there are no bouquets.

to delete an auto timer, press the menu button, and in the timer option, select auto timers, and delete whatever you need to.

I'll give that a bash - hitting epg when in bouquet seems to show the epg just for my bouquet which is quite good though as I said the normal epg is a complete mess. I am using rytec UK and have it set to download once a day.

Hi, i picked up a Sony Play TV tuner during the week, installed it into my Duo and is working perfect.
I can`t understand why this is better than my Nova Tuner but now i have a perfect picture with no breakup and dual tuner as an added bonus.

So a big thanks to Irishfreeview for the info.

Vinnie

Agreed! Great spot by Irish FreeView!
That was a good find alright!
A twin tuner all ready and waiting for the 2nd MUX to launch and for only 20quid :D

Vix is a serious pile of crap. Every aspect of it is buggy. I've just had to restart it again in order to get it to recognise my HDD which it regularly looses inexplicably. I tolerate it for the epg but even that is packed to the hilt with problems. I seriously think I'll throw it out, it's just truly awful.

best piece of advice you have given for ages lol throw it out! for all our sakes

Yeah, that way you can continue to pat each other on the back and tell each other what a great job y'all doing without interruption from actual pesky dam users such as myself. Hark!!! I think I may have hit on the problem.

You wanna play tennis again righteous? lets go

ha ha you are a funny guy. now relax and forward crash reports or logs and forward them to a civilised post on vix forum and dev team will take a look. as otherwise just moaning of problems and not reporting them will see the problems remain. and by all means if you have all of the software experience you say you have then take a look at the crash report and all help is appreciated

Here's an idea for ya righteous, why don't ya just stop commenting on my posts, that'd be a real help. Okey dokey??? there's a lad!

this is getting tiresome now. post crashlogs and report to vix forum.thanks

yeah! night now

There is a problem with 2.2 and changing channels in bouquets. If I select a channel from bouquet list and then hit the ch+ or ch- button it won't go to the next or previous channel in the bouquet. Instead it goes to the last channel I was viewing beforehand. I find I need to mess around with the up, down, left and right arrows to eventually get it working.

Why not do it here .... instead of sending people to another forum
That way it will help other people here instead of them going off and the rest of us never finding out the cause of an issue.

Just don't understand the need for it ... other wise you may as well lock this thread and just put a forwarding address to an outside forum

Because the other forum is where the devs are. That is the "source" of the VIX image. As much as I don't understand almost anything on that jumbled mess of a forum, I can understand why reports and image-specific issues should be reported/ discussed there rather than here.

Here is like just a "third party discussion" with possibly a bent towards Irish TV issues, not necessarily anything to do with the devs.

And I've had little to no issues with Vix 2.1. I'm very happy with it. So happy in fact I'm wondering why I should bother moving to 2.2.

I became a supporter of that forum about a year ago. I contributed financially and with information and feedback.

Then one day I asked a very simple and polite question and the dogs decided to bite. Ever since then I have a real problem with those people and more importantly the software. Recently I went back there and posted my opinion, and by god did they attack.

It's not a forum, it's a clique. You need to be part of the pack. They do not take any criticism whatsoever, in my case they just censored and closed threads in a random and panic fashion and just got personal with me. There's one developer and they all spend an inordinate amount of time telling him what a great job he's doing, which is part of the problem really. He has no documentation, no project planning, no engineering, he's just hacking away at it and as a result, it will always be a frustrating product for us pesky annoying users. That forum is not a good place for users that's for sure.

With regard to posting feedback, crashlogs etc, most of the many faults I experience with VIX do not involve crash logs. My last two bug reports posted on their forum went ignored so I simply don't get involved anymore.

Never understood why they look for donations there ...

Owner of the forum and shop is the same person .. Business must be real bad if they need to be supplemented by the poor users
