God knows where it went on the VIX4SH4 image i never managed to find it...

The F3 function key down the bottom is the audio Nano.

What a stupid bloody place to put it :-lol

Every other image i've ever used regardless which box its been on, the audio has either been on a dedicated audio button or on the yellow or other coloured button. Never seen it anywhere else other than that . I'll never understand the reasoning of making it the F3 buton. Its hardly obvious is it :-lmao

I know mate, "Audio" button would be my first choice as its self explanatory, it was the Yellow button on ATV image as you say.

Ive got an Amiko Alien 2+ setup with oscam and a motorised system. Stick with it eventually you'll get the hang of it. Spark is dreadfully basic . Mines runs Enigma 2 with the VIX4 I'mage installed, it did take me ages to find a skin for it i liked.

The box only has RF loop through not a modulator so you would need a separate rf modulator.If you buy a global tv link plus add on for your existing magic eye system it can control it. Remember though if you install Enigma 2 on it you can then control it using a smart phone/tablet or laptop.

Does the VIX4 have blind scan?

I still have one Tivu, its a running HDMU image at the moment and its not too bad at all. I found the VIX4 image not that good if i'm honest, Its a mediocre image at best, It doesn't live up to its namesake one little bit.

I can just about live with the receiver now it has a reasonably good image on it.

I've added a couple of gigablue ipboxes to our set up. Slightly off topic but they work really well with the amiko

HDMU Image? Oh dear!

Once you go into the image nothing works, Install a new skin and nothing appears as it should with important information missing, like what channel your watching, theres also no decode information and no picons for 28.2e. I was quite impressed with the image to start with, but as with most images for this box theres always something to spoil it.

I would have thought that the HDMU team would have tested that the picons on their plugin stream actually work as most of the ones i like didn't.

Looks like i'm going back to Hyperion 4 as thats the only image i've found upto now that ticks all the boxes for me
