    Vu usb tuner turbo set up help needed!

    Hi guys

    I have searched around the forum but cant find a guide or info on how to set up my vu+ usb tuner turbo for a cable line.

    I have a virgin subscription my box is a vu+ duo with two sat tuners which i have been using for years I have plugged the usb cable tuner in and it isnt showing on the tunerconfig. (only tuner A/B sat) I read something about enabling the new tuner first please help guys!

    thanks

    (its an old openvix image im still using as have problems with software update)

    vu+ duo
    version: helios
    kernal: 3.1.1
    last update: 2014

    You need to download the driver, but your vix image is so old that I doubt whether the plugin feeds are now available.

    thanks. I have installed the latest openvix image since yesterday so all updated to 4.2.
    What is the driver called? I have found two.
    dvb_usb_turbo or dvb_usb_opticombo

    once downloaded whats the next step? Do I use sundtek control centre?

    oops no im not. I still have my sky ABM bouquets list loaded and will still want to use this. Im unsure how the ABM works with two separate providers one cable and one sat.
    Can they be merged for example cable HD movie chans in movies bouquet mixed up with some of the sat movies chans not on cable?

    Vu usb tuner turbo set up help needed!

    You would be better off using a CustomMix file. Look at this post >> sat and cable custom mix updater plugin (BETA)
