Not many guides on the VU+ out there, and this is the best i have seen. If i get a VU+solo, (if it's ever released) this is where i am starting.

I am going to purchase the Vu+ solo2 box as soon as i have the funds. I would willingly donate my left testicle for one of these boxes but to date, have had no offers.
If anyone out there has any more knowledge of this box including loading an Nline please let me know.
Where can i download the files for flashing etc.

entering line info manualy

I have never used one of the VU boxes, I have a Technomate 5402 M2 and it works ok. But I want to know more about the VU boxes. A mate of mine has a VU+ box and I want to enter the details of a line I have for him to try, I have not got a clue how to do this and I don't want him to loose the line he has now just disconnect it while he tries out the new line. Can anyone help?

thanx helped a noob.........

 

[fingers8]

Hi all, my mate bought a vu solo 2 and i cant get the channels live only the FTA. I have a openbox v8s and its nothing like mine. As far as i can see the line is on but only fta channels. Is there anyone in the plymouth area who could come around and help cos i give up with it. AAARRRGGGHHHH

 

[morganator]

cheers for this post ive just found an old vu solo in my cupboard (think someone gave me years ago but i never tried it) ive got it kind of up and running with a blackhole image but i have hundreds of channels listed after scanning including multiples of the same channels (15 itv channels for instance) how do i set it up to only show sky/freesat channel list?

 

[garyth]

I'm pretty sure you can use dreambox edit with the vu boxes, if you connect via dreambox edit and download rats bouquets, you can then send the channel list to the box leaving you with just the normal sky FTA and premium channels.

 

[morganator]

Thanks for the quick reply, will try that now

 

[garyth]

with dreambox edit, just remember and click on sat box, enigma 2 box, then browse files, ok on the extracted rats bouquet, send to dreambox, and ok on the two boxes to the right.
It been a while since I've used it on my dreambox but it will sort your channel into favs
