    Hi,

    I would like to know if its possible to use the vu+ duo via hdmi to a tv and using a tv card feed it via component to the pc? so that we can record and stream to other pcs in the house? effectively a tuner to each or would i need 2 receivers upstairs instead? I currently have a dm800 downstairs, but need one for 2 bedrooms upstairs too.

    thanks

    Hi,

    I've installed VLC 1.1.4 and have got this working but the picture is blocky. I've tried the suggestion of increasing the cache to a bigger sie to ensure smooth playback, however this doesn't work because it still happens and the feed is no more than 1/2 second behind the tv feed if I put that on at the same time.

    I changed the setting under Tools->preferences selected the all rasio button, then went to Input / Codecs -> Access modules -> File -> "Caching value" and "Extra network caching value" and set these both to 10,000 but it made no difference to the delay on the stream.

    Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong please? I'd really like to use this feature.

    Thanks

    Hi all. love streaming from vu duo to my pc.
    I have noticed that if your streaming HD, you need a 4 core processor, anything less will cause freezing.

    Haven't used this function in awhile and wasn't working until I tried the above. So now can access the Vu but when i click on Stream a blank window pops up. Do i need to install something on my PC?

Loving my vu+ duo more and more everyday. Thanks for all the help.
    I have a twin feed coming from a fixed Sky dish. Have configured the Tuner A and B identically (individually) as well setting Tuner B 'equal to' A. But still, every time I change the channel on the PC, the receiver changes too.

    I also have the DreamBox Live app installed on my iPad and am able to watch separate channels (ones different transponders too) and also switch on the iPad without the channel on the receiver changing.

    Is there something obvious that I am missing - a setting on the PC streaming software itself perhaps??

    Thanks.

    When I use the web interface to download rather than stream, I'm getting about 3.5MB/s downloads, so a 4GB film takes roughly 25 minutes or so... anything I am missing speedwise that I can try? This is over LAN btw.

    Hi Guys,

    I just installen the VIX image for the fisrt time and I like it but streaming doesn't work here as it should .
    I can stream a chanel only if I first zap to that chanel, if I select another chanel I get an error from VLC.
    In the older webinterface with an older Pli image I could stream 5 different chanels simultaniously.
    Someone know how to fix this?

    thanks
