    Just finished sort of playing with it
    Great box picture quality better than my DM 800
    Using PLI NOW.
    All the other engima 2 images can be loaded on this box 85 % of the plugins will work but some like positioner setup does not work except on images VTI and PLI.
    So if you want to do a manual setup then as far as I know just VTI or PLI will be fine. On a fixed settings no problems.
    More later

    Hi All!

    Just got my VU+ today. Quite excited but still a bit of a noob at this stuff. LOL. Hopefully once I get going I'll be able to do a decent review for everyone. Anyone know where I can get the latest VTI image from so I can hook it up and tinker?

    Hi A, Ok - got the HDD (not the easiest thing in the world) - LOL. Does the supplied SATA cable power the drive as I couldnt find another power connector for the drive? Also, got the latest VTI image on there now and have hooked up to 28.2. I cant seem to see any channels though. I know its connected as I have done an auto scan and it has found aroun 120 FTA channels. Any idea what I might have to look for?

    hi mate,

    to initialise the hdd go to system/harddisk initialise with the red button on the rcu.

    if receiver cant find your hdd, temporarily connect to your pc and delete the partition, than install in the receiver and try above.

    Thanks Selo - Think I was being dumb. Bob told me there was a hidden power cable for the HDD which is probably why mine isnt working LOL!

    OK - Ive flashed the box with the latest VTI image and am connected up with my dual LNB sly minidish to 28.2 and have done a channel scan but can only see a few channels (I know I only get FTA at this point but I thought that all the sly uk channels would come up in the scan but they dont seem to) - do i need some sort of channel bouquet for sly uk?

    My second question is - Ive installed CCCam but it doesnt show up in the plugin menu. Is this normal? If so - once I get a C line from someone providing sly uk and add it to my cccam.cfg, will all the sly UK channels show up then after a scan or am i missing something?

    Sorry for being such a noob. Ive done loads of reading on this so far but most of it seems to revolve around DM machines. I did think about insalling barry allen to install an image to follow a DM 800 cccam tut but wanted to stay on an image built for my box for stability so any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance!

    So if you want to do a manual setup then as far as I know just VTI or PLI will be fine. On a fixed settings no problems.
    More later
    Positioner setup works with all images with all =9= of them, best way to install rotor settings is, get the latest rotor settings from vuplusduo forum, than copy and replace the satxml in etc/tuxbox,, after that etc/enigma2 open that file and delete the contents, than copy the rotor settins in to this folder, than switch off the receiver from behind wait for 30 seconds reboot all your channels will be there,


    also best rotor setting is with usals, if you have twin lnb ( like I do ) set the first tuner with your correct lat/ long values and the second tuner to as connected second motorised lnb option, this way you can record two channels @ once...

    you need to install cccam info plugin in the cams plugin, that way you can see all the cccam info and more, vti image will have a face lift soon there youll see the cccam on the blue button...

    you should be getting that with fresh scan.....btw sly minidish and lnb, is not the right hardware to compliment this receiver, you need a minimum 90 cm dish with diseqc motor and a 0.1db twin lnb than your talking..
