View Full Version : [VU+ Duo2] Channels change every 5 to 10 minutes
I have tried to reinstall from build 034 to 037 to 0040. But the tuner operates in a strange way. It will go from one channel to another every 5 to 10 minutes. Hopping from one bouqet to another. I have tried to delete the history by using 0 button. This helps some times - then it starts to randomly change channels.
Secondly If I try to stream from the webinterface the selected main tuner will change. If I have selected tuner A as default - the tuner will suddenly use tuner B. The only way to prevent such problems is to shut down the webinterface or reboot the tuner.
I am using Cccam in with an ordinary cfg.

Have you remote access opened up to the box?
I am not sure what you mean - I am using the webinterface from my computer in my private network. No other remote access

Do you have any ports open on your router to access the box from outside your home? This sounds like a possible hack into your system.

turn web interface off from the plugins menu

So, you haven't opened ports on your router for remote streaming?
disable hdmicec.
Nonsense. HDMI-CEC might have some driver issues on certain boxes & TV's, but channel hopping isn't one of them.
turn web interface off from the plugins menu
Again, nonsense unless the OP has folks in the house using streaming devices.
I have open ports on my router, to access the tuner from my Mac when I'm travelling. There could be a hack from outside - I will try to look at the my routers connections. Today my ftp/Telnet interface didn't give me access to the box before I did a reboot. Any clue where to look inside the tuner?
If or when this happens again issue the netstat command via a telnet session to see what IP's are connected to your receiver, as it certainly sounds like your receiver is being hacked for its streaming channels.
do u have epg refresh on, that would change channels every few mins, u can choose different tuner to use for epg refresh if it is that,
I am aware of EPG refresh, but don't use it - only Rytec

As I said next time this happens fire up a telnet session and run the netstat command to see who is connected to your receiver, I'd say it's almost certain your receiver is being hacked due to the open streaming ports.
I have carefully monitored the VU+ duo2 tuner all day. My router and PC shows no external connection and the other clients are iPhone/iPads and 2 Mac computers. But without doing nothing the tuner refuse telnet/ftp connection. I has setup Tuner A as default - but Tuner B is being used. No other activity are showing on my tuner.
Trouble with ftp/telnet was something I experienced with Black Hole 2.11 image - I have not until the last week had this problem with OpenVix and ftp/telnet connection. The only way now is to reboot the tuner with power off.
So what error are you getting with telnet and FTP ?.

Turn off port forwarding on your router to see if it stops
Cannot connect/refuse to connect to FTP/Telnet wither using DCC or a FTP program. I had to power down my tuner because no tuner was available and no couldn't be connected because FTP/Telnet was down. I don't think my problems is caused by any hack - but is something to do with priority between tuner A/B. When I have tuner A as preferred default in my setup - why does it jump to Tuner B. The same thing has happend when I am using the webinterface - the tuner give webinterface access to tuner A and interfer with the one who are using the tuner. The same has happen when I try to record a program from another transponder.
Could it be a hardware problem or drivers? This is strange...

How many clients are connected to the box at the same time?
My computer and a second dreambox 800 in my sleeping room - this one is not being touched
Nonsense. HDMI-CEC might have some driver issues on certain boxes & TV's, but channel hopping isn't one of them.
yes, it is.
Did you try a fresh flash, no restore, no plugin installed, only setup tuners and scan for channels?
See was happens with the most simple default install.
Also turn off port forwarding.
What box ?
solo2 and duo2
another effect is that box goes into standby once in a while.

I have the odd HDMICEC issues on a Solo2, standby & random menu popups (seems to work a lot better with current drivers), but no channel hopping.
On 5 different manufacturer boxes, I've never seen a HDMICEC channel hopping issue.

I have seen the channel hopping problem in addition to standby and menu popups. but I agree it's become better (but not gone) with the latest drivers.
My tuner also goes randomly to standby in the middle of a program. Yesterday two times to standby mode during the evening. So not only channel hopping, but also standby. I will try a complete reflash.

Please also describe your dish setup in terms of how many cables you have, what is at other end, no of dishes, lnbs switches motor?
Also state what you have configured each tuner as. Preferrably separately for each tuner.
I have had the same setup for many years with my old DM8000. The parabol consist of 4 double heads and a diseq switch. Tuner A is configured with 4 position (1w, 4,8E,13E,19,2E) and tuner B is like tuner A. This setup has been function very well also with my VU Duo2. But I think it is now way that thi setup can vreate this kind of trouble. Yesterday the tuner rebooted every hour when I tries to switch channels. I will do a reflesh today
Did you try turning off port fowarding, I had similar issues on my Duo2, With port forwarding turned off it does not happen best way forward if you want ports open is to set up a VPN
I have reflashed the box and setup the image without using old backup. The I upgaded to latest 043 version and deactivted the webinterface. The box are still changing channels every 5 to 1o minutes and the ftp interface and telnet interface are deactivated. Impossible to use telnet netstat. I have also deactivated portforward in my router. When I try to operate the tuner it will reboot. So now sometimes it reboots without notice or change channels. It also seem that both tuners are in use - even if I am just using one.
I have been patient and reflashed the image yesterday 3 times. The plugins or extra download would not work before I allowed the tuner to download unstable version of software/drivers. The download feed was blank. My trouble started when I upgraded from version 23 to 27 - I think. Anyway OpenVix Apollo are impossible for me to use. I new flash with Blackhole 2.1.1 gives me again a normal stable tuner - no channels hopping, no reboot/switching off, no failed to connect to ftp/telnet. It seems to be a software challenge somewere.
If it was a problem with the vix image then the forum would be full of people with this issue - the duo 2 is a popular receiver. When it is only happening to you then it must be either you or the receiver.
Any USB device connected?
Internal disk? disk OK?
Yes, one USB device 2G and internal harddisk. USB stores EPG data and picons - the harddisk is for video and pictures. I have tried it without USB pin - no difference. But still it has been stable with another image - now almost 20 hour.
Very strange.
I have a Duo2 box for over a year now and never had any problems running VIX.
But that doesn't help you.
Meanwhile we have build 47 now.
