How about a dummies guide to the VU from the moment you unpack the box right down to when your watching the channels !!!

I think with the arrival of N3 you will find that more & more people will be looking to join the SAT !!!

Do I agree with that. (PLEASE) I could really do with that and give my undying appreciation
to this forum.
Bit frightened of getting the box being a bit of a newbie having
relied on patches until now

Where's the fun in watching telly? :)
N3 will make a slight difference to this household but I Couldn't care less.
It's funny, all the people who did it for a hobby and fun, but now there's tears as the end is in sight.
I'm not pointing the finger at you Peter, just taking this oppertunity to comment on N3 :)

The easiest way is to swop over the two keys 'D' and 'F' on the keyboard. That compensates I find

Peter it's like this, I would need a keyboard with 30mm x 300mm keys with large glowing characters.
What's in my head, seldom materialises on screen. :)

Hey Odd father, you do :) realise this "frivolity" is all due to the fact my VU+ is still waiting to be born.:)
Once that's happened, I'll revert to my normal 1 post per year routine.

The Sicillian dude haunted my searches for info on the VU+.
Until that time, he existed in other forums that I frequent, but can't say I noticed him :)

I normally prefer to keep a low profile and pass unnoticed. That's just typical of my shy retiring manner.
Maybe I noticed the name cos that mafia thing always pops into my head when I see it :)

I agree on this. editing is good to have and sometimes really essential.
don't know about this forum Sic but, on some forums the edit functionality can set with a timer from the original post and not edited ones.ie if you made a post you can edit it for 30 minutes even if you edit once at the 29th min then u still have 1 minute left.
Guess you might know this as you are on each and every forum i visit :)

I thought this was going to be a 'Dummies Guide'. I keep reading but aint getting any cleverer. Still in frustrated mode. Got to wait till May now.
Will be sleeping over the holiday most of the time. Can't keep playing with the same old toys. Need a new one.

Dummies Guide. I've been looking everywhere for something like this. I've got a Vu+ Duo with Vix installed. Everything works fine, but I suspect I am not touching the surface of what I can do with it. I have downloaded some plugins and some are working. However, there are some I've downloaded that just don't appear anywhere. I suspect there is something fundamental I haven't discovered yet and would love some form of guide: "All the stuff you can do with your Vu+ Duo ... or at least here's a sample of plugin and software add-in tutorials (with screen shots) to give you some idea as to what can be done."[/SIZE]

The problem with a dummies guide is its time consuming and the images do routinely change and the "dummies" soon enough become experts.

Don't be scared mate as its quite hard to totally ballsed up the box. Anything your unsure of, do forum search and if you cant find the answer start a new thread with your question (in the right section:D)
