Hello All,

I have been using a vu+ duo for the last couple of years, and while it seems to be a good device, it is certainly far from perfect. My one crashes quite often, and often seems to run out of processing power.

Since the vu+ (or any dreambox for that matter) is really just a small computer running linux, has anyone tried replacing their vu+ device with a customized PC that runs some soft of DVR system?

I have a nice PC that I would have liked to use for this, and so I would be very grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Many thanks in advance.

what image are you using?
I'm on the black hole 1.7.3
my duo (and my friends) hardly ever crash.
I work away so i need a stable box for my family. They love it - fast menus and never any problems.

Processing power is no issue for an STB: the processor is hardly used at all.
