Problem: 27 second delay on non-FTA Channels + random 7-10 sec Screen Freezes.

[Osamo1956]

Hi all,
My VU+ Duo HD has been running fine after it’s setup about a week ago, but has now developed an annoying problem:
For example, I might have watched FTA BBC 1 HD for 40 minutes or so, but when I go to epg and select say Animal Planet HD (or ‘any’ non-fta channel) there is a 27 second delay before the channel appears on screen. 27 seconds of black screen & silence.
However, once it eventually bursts into life I can switch between non-fta channels at will ...with no channel start delays. Also, when viewing a non-fta channel I am able to flick to a fta channel ‘briefly’, then back to any non-fta channel with no hesitation at all. But once again, if I spend as little as 10 to 15 mins watching any fta channel the same problem will occur when subsequently selecting a non-fta channel.
Has anyone experienced something similar ...or hopefully has a solution please?

Also, in parallel with the above; I’m getting random (perhaps every 10 to 30 minutes) screen freezes that last between 7 to 10 seconds. There is no interruption to any other digital services that are 100% alive & well at the same time as the problems.
I have tried restarting softcam (1. 35 a), restarting enigma, rebooting the box, unpowered the box for 20 mins (not necessarily in that order I might add) ...but each time it continues to have the same faults.
Any suggestions/solutions?
Thanks.

it sounds like its taking a long time to decrypt the channels. what local card do you have? and witch softcam are you using to clear the card?

Hi Josh_g,
An 'N' within Mgcamd 1.35a for 28.2e UK Channels.

Apologies for my obvious typo errors. I stand corrected.

PROBLEM SOLVED:

Solved! ...The problem is due to the config settings in the 'mg_cfg' file.
For the VU+ Duo ensure that the lines within the file (ONLY those listed below) are changed.
(((REMEMBER to save a copy of your existing cfg file to your PC / stick BEFORE you do this)))
Find the following lines in your mg_cfg file and change to exactly as shown. Leave all other text unaltered.
Changes listed here: Type EXACTLY as shown.
