    Vu Duo Blackhole crashing/green screen

    Hello
    Last week I brought a Vu Duo and I updated the box to "BlackHole 2.1.5 Vu+Duo UK Ready Backup By master G" but I'm getting a lot of crashes and green screens. Do you think my bootloader needs updating and is there another image out there that's more stable maybe VIX?
    Thanks and I look forward to the replies

    ViX is a great image, try installing that. The latest is ViX Apollo 160. Wouldn't harm to flash bootloader on again if you wanted to.
    Once you've tried ViX you won't bother with the rest, as ViX is the best image around imo.

    Impossible to know what's included in 'a back-up' image, so impossible to support.
    Use an official image if you need support.

    Personally I would ditch the backup, you have no way of knowing what little nasties people hide in those so called "backup" images and most teams won't offer support for any backup image for the same reason. Try flashing a clean image your self and we can help you through the setup.
