A client is streaming from this box

[dandep]

Hi,
I have a Vu duo with motorised dish and have been running it for years with no problem. Recently I noticed a lot of my channels are greyed out and I can't select them, the sort of behaviour I'd expect if I were recording a channel making others unavailble. If I reboot the box I get a message saying "A client is streaming from this box" and on reboot my channels are available again, though sometimes briefly. I tried unplugging the network connection to the box and all the channels are available.

It seems like something is watching my channels, not sure if it as internal device of mine or if somehow I have been hacked. Is there anyway of blocking all clienbts from streaming from the box or check who/what is streaming from it?

Thanks,
Dan

This happened to me too. Have you opened any of the ports on your router?

Is the the 15+ years old duo? If this is happening while stream relay channels are being viewed, it's normal. If you have forwarded/opened ports to allow external viewing, someone else is connecting to your receiver. You will have to close the ports/stop forwarding on your router. Depending on image, you should have an option to see "streaming clients", otherwise you can issue following command to see who is connected to your receiver:
netstat

It is a vu duo 4k. So about 5 years old I think. I'm not sure I know what stream relay channels are so I don't think it is that. I have iptv and oscam icam running. It happens even when I am watching FTA bbc on 28.2. I have disabled webif and it still happened.

Port forwarding was enabled as I have previouslg streamed to myself via https. I have just disabled this so will monitor the situation. Thanks for the help.
