    Yes I do have a VU+ Zero box, I want to use it solely for 27.5W.
    Yes Menu/information/ About shows:-
    "Version 2018-03-30-vuplus_experimental
    Image Experimental 2017-03-02"
    So, how do I change the image to what it should be?
    Cheers
    Gerry

    There are many image choices, but you load a new image using a USB stick, formatted to FAT 32, check the excellent guides, by Lee, from Goldwafers:
    https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthrea...ing-up-Vu-Zero

    I'm not sure which image is best, for 27.5W.

    I looked at that guide before and did what it said, but I obviously didn't leave the USB stick connected long enough to fully flash the box.Box now flashes and I have Blackhole 3.0.5 image installed.

    mine have BH 3.05 on them (which I updated to version L last night after replying), so my comments were about blackhole, each image has its own particular menus so when asking a question its important to mention the image installed as well, menu , about to find out all the details

    I always FTP files to tmp, then use the ipk installer from the menus to install them

    Working my way through the 27.5 West guide.
    I deleted oscam.conf instead of just deleting the contents.
    How to I get oscam.conf back?
    Cheers

    reinstall the ipk is one way, probably the quickest way too

    or get an old config from the net and ftp it over after editing it in notepad++ (not notepad)

    try the uninstall option to remove oscam completely, then ftp the BH oscam ipk to tmp and install using the installer

    if all else fails, download the BH version of oscam , then use 7zip or peazip to extract the folders and ftp them into place, plus modify them as required using notepad++ BEFORE ftp,ing them into place

    Can't find an uninstall option.
    Or do you mean the factory reset option?
    Cheers

    If you press the green button, followed by the yellow button, you should see the addons uninstall option.

    thought we had already covered the addons menu and sub menus , including the green followed yellow buttons

    addons is also available from the main menu

    you need to get to grips with the BH image and its various menus

    oscam is an addon , so you install it (add it) or uninstall it (remove it) from the addons menu

    Please accept my apologies for not understanding. I am new to this area of computing.
    To me, BH looks like a new operating system, I did not appreciate that it is just an addon.
    Had a look at the addons menus and can see a "addons uninstal panel" but when I select it , it is empty.
    Cheers

    When you select your Cams, by pressing the Blue Button, how many do you have installed?

    You have 1 installed by default, Common Interface, if you had Oscam, or any other Cam installed, it would state 2, or more.
    I would advise you start from the beginning, re-install Black Hole, then using Filezilla connect to your receiver.
    To do this you need to find your receiver IP Address, you can do this via the menu, Network, Adapter Settings.
    Can you please tell us if you selected the Oscam emu, after installation, by pressing the Blue button, using the left/right arrow keys, < >, to scroll to it and pressed the OK button?

    How do I re-install Black Hole?
    Do I have to uninstall it first, which I don't seem to be able to do as stated in an earlier message.
    No I didn't select Oscam emu
    Cheers

    You just re-load it, using your USB stick, this overwrites everything, providing you don't select the use backup option.
    Once installed, and set up, go into the menu and locate the Network menu, and Adapter Settings, this will show you your receivers IP Address, make a note of it.
    Next download Filezilla, or use the VU+ Control Centre:
    https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthrea...ol-Centre-V0-8

    Filezilla is a free FTP program, File Transfer Protocol, you enter your receiver IP Address in Host, root in username, this is the default username, and click on the Quick Connect option.

    Once connected you should see your receivers files on the right, your PC's files on the left.
    Find the Oscam Emu and drag it into the tmp folder, on the right.
    You can then go to your receiver, press the Green, followed by the Yellow buttons and manually install it.
    You have two options, one for .ipk files, the other for .tgz files, which are for Black Hole.

    Once installed your receiver might re-start, you then press the Blue butt, use the < > keys, on the centre of your remote, to select the installed Oscam emu, then press OK.

    Please post back, with updates, or if you have any problems.
    I should be home around 6 P.M., but others will help you.

    VU+ Files section, then Emus:
    https://www.satpimps.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?515-Emus

    It might be wise to read the 27.5W guide, from the beginning:

    for clarity

    Blackhole , Openvix , Openpli , openATV etc are operating systems using linux

    these are like windows , android or the MACos on various other devices

    addons like oscam , cccam etc are like apps or programs , installed into the OS and not a part of it

    THE PROCEDURES TO INSTALL AN OS LIKE BH FROM A USB STICK ARE IN THE STICKY THREADS IN THE VARIOUS VU FORUMS HERE , same procedures no matter which VU box you own

    I am using BH 3.05 and updated it using its menus to version L for Lucy , on a VU duo2 and a VU solo2

    there are various oscams you can install, some with configs and others without configs, which is why we asked about if you were using oscam ymod or something else , the oscam ymod for BH should be installed (or any oscam for BH) as I mentioned earlier using the IPK installer from menu addons or green - yellow which is another way to access the same menu

    the coloured buttons have various presses , short , long , double tap etc to access different functions

    FTP programs like filezilla can be used on a pc to ftp files over

    NOTEPAD++ can be used on a pc to edit config files before transferring, or if overwriting (by FTP)

    7zip or Peazip can be used on a pc to extract these compressed files like the ipk ones

    dreamboxedit or dreamset can be used on a pc to transfer channel lists like catseyes lists

    DCC can be used for various functions (Dreambox Control Centre)

    although you have a VU, its like an up to date dreambox, hence why the word dreambox crops up a lot

    hope these explanations help
