    use a rear usb stick and point crossepg at it for saving and loading your epg (not the internal flash or hdd)

    how much percentage of the flash memory is in use ?

    ideally you want less than 90% and preferably less than 80%

    memory issues are worse on the DUO 1 because it doesnt have enough for modern images , a solo 2 works much better

    alternatively , if its a few years old , maybe its having component trouble as some caps can dry out on the DUO 1

    yes, you fit (or buy one with hdd already fitted) a 2.5 inch laptop type hdd inside like on the suo1 and add your usb stick to a rear usb port

    very similar to use but much faster and a much better product (I did the same myself)

    I hope you meant a VU SOLO 2 , not a vu solo

    Before you give up, try setting up a swap file on either the hard drive (best) or the USB drive (if no HDD). Choose a maximum size swap file.

    I have an old Duo1 and it does crash occasionally. I have been running CrossEPG on a daily basis without problems for some time. The Swap file helps with my Duo1.
