    Question Vu+ Duo Remote Failure

    Hi,

    My Vu Duo remote seems to have given up ghost, I have flashed the latest openvix image available and once the box boots up my remote doesn't seem to respond at all

    Although having said that, whilst booting up if I press any button on the remote a green led flashes on the box as though it is working okay, then once booted it doesn't recognise it ?

    I did a full backup before the image install but cannot access it as my hard drive is fubar.

    I have just put a new hard drive in the box but the remote still doesn't respond ?

    Has anyone got a solution to this please ?

    odd! try new batteries and see what happens. the other option is to re-programme the remote

    You may need to try changing the remote code.

    Thanks for your replys, how do I re-programme the remote, it has just been working again and then stopped totally.

    I have just flashed openpli 4.0 onto the box, the remote was working fine now its stopped again I've tried new batteries too that hasn't helped.
