Thanks a lot for the info. Interesting...
One more question. In your tuner config, do you have 'Send 5v to active antenna' set to Yes for the dual tuners the Play TV provides?

I use a nova stick for Saorview on Duo and experienced the same black screen twice a week. To get around having to hard reset I enabled a daily reboot timer at 6am - much more stable.

I did the same thing when DTT tuner on Duo.
Rebooted every night made it lots more stable.
Setup now is PlayTV on DUO2 and have it doing recordings galore and have not seen even a single stability issue.
Whether its mre stable drivers or more horsepower in DUO2 I don't know...
PLAYTV is great kit though.. Well worth €32....
Thanks guys. I've set up a daily reboot in the morning before I run the XMLTV EPG download. Perfect.
You still might get the odd freeze though it should be much much better. As dfdream alludes to - it looks like a lack of horse power on the Duo. If not already, setup the swap file also. It has made my Duo more stable anyway.

I didn't have picons, so I figured out the correct symbolic links required to get it working with the latest ocram picons installed from the feeds. I also created RTE1HD and RTE+1 images (attached)
Install shd.transparent-white no padding version. That is the Super HD version (XPicon) from Addons>Downloads>Picons
Commands for picons for Irish DVB-t channels:

You Can Use A Powered USB Hub Which Will Make The Play TV Stable, Along With The Reboot... I Put Mine Into Deep Standby At 4.00am... And It Works Perfectly...
I'm having the VentonHD3 with Apollo153 FW. I installed the driver via Plug-in the 'dvb-usb-dib0700 (1.0-r8) and installtion seems to go through.
Is there something else to do 'cause the PlayTV turner(s) won't appear in to tuner settings? The red light in the PlayTV unit is light on, though.
Hello Everyone
VU+ duo2 release5.1.013
I picked up one of the sony play usb tuners
I downloaded the Hauppauge’ drivers from the plug ins download menu there were 3 ( do I need to install them ? )
I downloaded the first one then rebooted box and checked the tuner config menu ( no additional tuners )
Tried with the other 2 drivers and rebooted without any success
Is there anything that I need to enable ? to see the additional tuner
I have plugged it into the rear usb port
I have tested the sony play tuner on a windows pc and it works fine on that
Any tips / pointers much appreciated
Update
I installed the driver via Plug-in download menu 'dvb-usb-dib0700 as indicated in the post above mine and it works
tuners C & D became available after a restart ( happy days )
