Not all channels transmit 24/7 so although you have signal strength it's because there are several channels on that frequency and the one you have downloaded Identifiers don't agree with whatever is in your xml file which probably came with the image, becuase things are changing all the time. I...

Hi No it's not that difficult and there is a lot of help available. Enigma 11 is the latest incarnation of the sofware that runs the Duo. Fitting a hard drive is a doddle and pretty cheap these days I used a 1terabyte, cost about £50, Have a look on google for various VU forums, can't advertise...

Hi Malcolm123 I may be biased but I have used dozens of receivers over the years and have had a VU+Duo for 6 months or so and it has been better than any other. It would seem to fit the bill, I use it with a Panny plasma and after a few tweaks the pictures are superb, it may be a bit difficult...

An old trick to stop the transformer windings from oscillating was to squirt some superglue into the windings. Needless to say do it with the unit disconnected from the mains, and it is an at your own risk fix !

The latest image is the VIX one there are several others including PLI and VTI , the dreamelite team have 'ceased trading' at the moment. Try them all and do a lot of reading. All you have to do is download the USB version, 3 files onto a pen drive, there is a vu folder and a duo folder. Insert...

I've had quite a few boxes over the years,Technomate, Echostar, Humax to name a few. My first Linux box was an eagle coz it was cheap enough that if I blew it up it wouldn;t have been the end of the world. My newish Vu+duo I think is fantastic. No it hasn't got blind search and it doen't get...

Hi again yes the VU+ does lack blind search, Yes it gets regular software updates. I am using DreamElite 133 because I think it looks better than any other Image I have tried and does all I want it to do. Why spend hours searchimg for feeds when there are channel lists regulary updated which...

Hi ! Firstly your AD3000IP has a built in 36 volt positioner, as far as I know this facility is not available on any new receivers which all use DiSeQc so you would need a 'V Box'or stand alone positioner to move a 36 volt actuator dish. I believe only the Humax range of dual tuner Freesat boxes...

Hi Turok They haven't gone, change of frequency recently HB 10815 h 27500 4/5. rgds dmgp

LTV World is FTA on 5east The rest are a card paired to box only available from the providers as far as I know. Hope that helps a bit. rgds dmgp

Hi ! there is very little analogue TV left so what satellite you are looking at would be good to know.I suspect it is one of the Telecom birds that are still up there. The reason you get B&W pics is because they are transmitted in the French SECAM system not the UK PAL. The video is linked wth...

The CAS interfaces connect to a PC and the CAM. Some laptops will allow the re-programming of the CAM with an update file (.UPD) via the PCMCIA slot. This takes 45 seconds rather than 45 minutes !
