My mum has an VU+ Duo (bought sometime in 2011/2012) and yes its a genuine one :) It has a 500gb INT HDD and 4gb USB stick for backups and EPG data.
It's been acting a bit strange these last few months :confused: I had re flashed it a few times with different versions of VIX but still had the same results (fresh setups and restores)
1. Sometimes the EPG data is missing (when pressing the EPG button) and is still missing after a reboot, the only way to get it back is to download it again.
2. Quite often when playing back a media file spinning VIX appears on the screen and won't go away (at this point the media playback is no longer playing) sometimes if you wait a long time it will react again, other times the VIX spinner freezes and the only option is the rocker switch ;)
3. Sometimes recordings fail and when I looked into it both the HDD and USB stick are both mounted as HDD :eek:
Anyway I put it down to them being old :p so I took it away to try here.
I did a fresh install (again) and tried it in the living room for a while to keep an eye on it and so far it seems to be OK except for the fact it has powered down itself 3 times now :nono: for no reason and it will not power back on with the remote or power button on the box. When you press the power button on the remote a little white LED lights up on the front panel (NOTHING is displayed on the VFD whatsoever) only the rocker switch will bring it back.
Any ideas? I'm convinced it is a hardware issue myself.
