[Sicilian]

No no i dont, just wanted to know if i could use the newnigma2-v3-0 image
Am using just the images that is for Vu+Dou

I'd have to say no as its a DM800/8000 image. Up to you if you want to try & multiboot it.

Now I've got 1146 channels most are locked out obviously but I have all the free to air. Reset itself to astra 19east when adding bouquets I just saw astra and carried on , it was only when I was re-reading the bouquet list when 28.2 hit me like a hammer.Fitted my hard drive today Hitachi 250 gb, wouldn't work, just locked up at "starting enigma II", swapped it for a 160gb out of a surveillance system worked fine.Hitachi works fine in a hd enclosure wire to pc but it was formatted NTFS would that make a difference. Now trying to get EPG to work, one day I'll know what i'm doing , thanks for the help.

You extract the files an ftp them to where it says in the first post. You haven't got to map anything.

Blue button, software management > software update. Be carefull though, with some of the updates you could loose some of your settings. Also make sure the stable symbol is present on the openpli site

@ Maverick, once you've read those please post your questions

Thanks Boss for your numerous posts and responses to everyone different issues.

I have a problem in that as simple as your guide looks it is not working for me.
Maybe, I am missing some steps or maybe you assumed that most users are very familiar with set up from other STB so some steps are skipped.
I have followed the step on how to format usb, create folder and create another folder within the folder. Extract the usb package into the folder and insert usb into STB.
After doing all this the STB read the USB but did not upload any new image on my STB. It only wiped off my channel list setting it back to default.
I have even extracted image into the first folder i.e. vuplus with the hope that the STB will upload the image from usb...still no luck.

I then tried the VU+utility software, this did not pass the stage after it asked me to turn on my STB. I turned the STB on but the software is not giving the option os setting up my IP even though ethernet cable and serial is well connected to the STB.

Pls is there a simpler step by step guide?
Do anyone know if there is youtube link on how to do this?
Do I omit anything in my steps?
Is there another utility software like flashwizard or browser to flash the VU+?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Guide here to flash with USB stick http://www.vuplus-support.co.uk/show...ng-a-USB-stick

Try the HP tool to format your USB stick here http://www.vuplus-support.co.uk/show...SB-Format-Tool

What image are you trying to flash?

Honestly, I have used the guide from the link you pasted above. I tried using the HP tool to format my USB stick but error I get is I need adminstrator privilege to use this tool.

I am trying to flash from these links: VU+-Support.co.uk-Loaded24-05-10.rar (34.88 MB, 214 views)
VU+-Support.co.uk-Loaded24-05-10.nfi (37.01 MB, 57 views).

Thanks.

When using HP tool, right click on it and choose run as administrator.

[Sicilian]
