Okay, it's a bit unfair for me to vote for VIX, as I have only been messing with the image for a couple of weeks now. When I first installed the image I had a few of the green screens, but after I have done a software update, I can not recall having any.

Now, I am up and running I am weary of re-imaging with BH or VTI or one of the others, one thing that is missing from the VIX image is the hbbtv, so I may give one of them a try :)

This thread has been running for quite a while now but for anyone who hasn't tried it, the VTI image is great.

I have tried them all and found myself changing images weekly. However since I tried the VTI image three or four months back I have not found the need to change.

HbbTv works great in ViX.

I tried a few images , but always returned to the ukdreambox image , solid image - good support - basically turns the Vu+ into a dreambox , the image has EPG , cccam etc. all in. the best one for me !!!

A vote for Vix from me... I had a customers VPD on BH and it was just a nightmare with HDD not mounting on startup, therefore EPG not writing to the HDD properly, plugins not working, yesterday I flashed it with Vix, all those problems gone... Mine too also has Vix & is stable...

Openvix is my choice. Plenty of features built in. Pretty easy to set up.

Blimey i thought this thread had died a death since the last reply was over two years ago, I dont even have a Vu+ Duo now :-lmao

I've decided to have a rest from VIX for a while. I'm quite enjoying Open Pli at the moment on both my Xtrend ET9500 and my Formuler F3 :D

Well since i just re joined this was a new thread for me :p
I might get my spare box going and try some other images... just to get a look at them all.
i have a solo2 clone as a spare :)
Its a bit like my real solo2... but smaller, cheaper made and crappier lol

After reading some of the posts in this section, i thought it would be interesting to see which image the users here seem to think is the best :D

I think it it would be OK to state which image you like for a Vu+ Duo or Solo in this poll.

Your opinions of pros and cons would be most valuable.

Its a totally Anonymous poll so please vote as you think even if you don't wish to make a comment.

I've voted for Blackhole myself :D

I have tried many over the years and always go back to Blackhole - never lets me down!
