    A quick question! Why shouldn't we use drive's that don't have their own power supply? I have a 500gb WD Passport drive sitting idle and was thinking I might use it with my Vu+ Duo!

    Try formatting the disc on PC first as NTFS, then re-try on Solo.

    Hi jas.
    That's normal I think. The solo has a single tuner and when you go to standby it is left tuned to the transponder for the service you were watching. When the time comes for it to make a scheduled recording, if that is on a service on a different transponder, then the box will have to set the tuner to that transponder. The message is just telling you what has happened. The alternative would be to have the recording missed.

    Have you tried simply switching channels again instead of rebooting?
