    Have to restart my boxes every single day??

    i have two duo boxes both with the latest vix images..every day i have to unplug the box and restart them as they both freeze..i have made sure nothing covers the holes on the top but can anyone shed any light??

    i was thinking of using a different image to see what happned but i love the vix interface and the BH ones look poor in comparison

    As has been mentioned in other threads Vu are currently investigating a possible memory leak associated with the new 3.1.1 kernel, it could also be a issue with the EPG download if your using CrossEPG you can try using a temporary swap file or try using this plugin to see if that helps.

    How often should we use this? Once, or daily/weekly?

    well the Solo like the Duo has a relatively low amount of ram so you could give it a go to see if it helps.

    Ok... tried this plugin, I go from 1.62% free to 33.42% free... but within seconds it's back at 1% free?? Is there something I am doing wrong, not got picons/EPG on flash?! Here are the images of before/after (but even running the plugin just jumps straight back to the first image).

    just to point out that you only really should try this plugin if your are suffering instabilities associated with the memory leak problems also dont worry about the figures, just set it to refresh once every 60 minutes and leave it alone. you have to remember that linux considers free memory as wasted memory.

    My box crashes a couple of times a day, kernel 3.1...

    Is this due to memory leak issue?

    Sometimes my channels stay blank for about 20secs before I can see/hear...

    no i'd say from your forum posts here and else where that your problems stem from the method of which you obtain your channels and your inability ( at the moment ) to set the receiver up properly.

    I had the same issue, it worked fine once I changed the Usb Memory stick that I was using for picons and epg data.
