I have a new Vu duo and have installed OpenVix 3.0.808. The output will only display on a single TV. I have the video output set to YPbPr, 1 tv connected with HDMI and 1 with RWY phono cables. The vix image displays on both screens when booting and then switches to the HDMI TV only.
I am new to this, so you will probably need to be quite specific in your answer :)
Hi,
set output to CVBS and try with the yellow connector alone. This is how I connected my Duo2 with a second monitor. I never tried YUV and HDMI at the same time.
ciao
Thanks for the reply. The only settings in Setup, system, A/V Settings, Video output are:
YPbPr
Scart
HDMI
Scart-YPbPr
I have tried it on all settings
Have you tried rebooting the receiver after changing the mode from one to another ?.

That should work. I have no idea why it doesn't work for you, as this is not setting dependant.
Thanks, I have rebooted in between each change. It displays on both screens when Vix is loading, as soon as the spinning VIX logo appears in the top left, the second screen goes off.
Then i think it's time for a reflash without a settings restore to see if its a issue with a virgin image, maybe even try another build too just incase.
Thanks.
Any recommended image version?
Do I just drop it on USB as the previous install?
There is a flashing tutorial available from the guides and tutorials section on www.openvix.co.uk for this receiver. I would try build 808 again just to see if it is still present in a fresh clean flash, then try a earlier build if necessary.

So that is at the moment E2 takes over the control of the screen.
How is that second screen (the one that goes black) connected? Make sure that screen is compatible with the selected output
for that connection.
Thanks, it's connected with a coax via an rf modulator. I have re-flashed with image 3.0.796 and the same issue. This occurs before any other packages are installed
Hi,
is your 2nd TV also HD but only connected with YUV? If it is not HD then I think you cannot use it because YUV is also capable of HD and uses the same resolution as HDMI afaik. When you switch to SCART and select CVBS you can use the yellow video out.

And how is that RF-modulator connected? If via scart make sure scart is set to CVBS.
Thanks for the responses, here's what I have done so far (problem persists)
Reloaded same image without backing up settings.
Reloaded older version of Vix (3.0.796)
Loaded Blackhole
So it would seem none Vix related!
Any ideas on next steps?

You didn't answer
And how is that RF-modulator connected? If via scart make sure scart is set to CVBS.
Apologies the modulator is connected via an rf (coax) cable. I have just tried the settings Scart, CVBS and still no output. I also tried it on Scart, RGB. :(
Here is the complete cable set up:
HDMI > TV1
Scart > YRW Cables > RF Modulator > Coax > TV2

Did you choose PAL or NTSC i.a.w. the capabilities of the connected TV in the Scart-settings?
You might also try to change the setting of WSS on 4:3 (although I doubt if that makes any difference).
Hi,
why scart adapter? You can use the YRW cinch connectors directly.

Tried both, just as a different approach!

Please answer my question (http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?34299-Multiple-TV-Output-not-working&p=258568&viewfull=1#post258568).
Are you deliberately ignoring my questions/suggestions :confused:
A quick update, I have loaded the latest PLi and works straight away out of the box. Don't figure?

I had selected PAL and tried all other suggested solutions!
It does not appear to work with Vix or Blackhole, if you want to output to 2 TV's, just use OpenPLi4
Thanks to everyone for their suggested solutions and support.
I am sorry you did not get the help needed to resolve this issue with your VU+ Duo when it was running ViX.
For the record I have dual outputs from both a Duo and a Duo2, both running ViX and it does work.
Your issue might have been a problem with the limited memory capabilities of the VU+ Duo, they do struggle to cope with all the highly advanced features and useful options of the current OpenViX image.

For sure it has not. And the good old DUO still manages to do all the tricks (sometimes with a bit of help).

Grow up! All the questions were answered, maybe not as quick as you wanted!
