Hi guys as you may know by my previous thread I'm not exactly tech savvy so please bare with me

I've now recieved a vu+solo2 box which I bought on eBay it's apparently all installed and ready to go

Anyway ive plugged it in and the list of channels all come up with epg and info ect but non of the channels seem to play anything other than a blank screen

I've emailed the seller asking what to do but the response I got was "you need to enter the correct settings for your dish system ive got no idea what that means or how to do it

The freeview channels play but non of the premium stuff
 
First thing you need to find out is what firmware is on your box.

When you boot it up from scratch do you get a VIX sign spinning round or something else.

These boxes just show a blank screen if the channel isn't clearing.

The advert said supplied with "gift" which usually means a line has been put in the box
already and you just switch it on and it works, if you read down your "gift" is a free USB stick lol

You will need to put a line in the box, so you need to find a server and pay a subscription.

You can post a request here

The best place for you to start is here

(The model of your box won't make any difference if it is flashed with the VIX image)

Read through and start having a go, if you get stuck post back with as much info as you can.

That way peoples responses will be more accurate.

If it's not flashed with the vix image the process will be similar but the menu's may be a bit different.
 
Vix comes on when I load the box

All the channels show up the freeview ones play but the sly ones stay blank (although they give me a full epg and info list)
 
Good news is, you have bought a very good box, bad news is
they are a bit fiddly to set up, my first one took me a couple of hours.

After that they take about half an hour once you have got your head around everything.

You will need to put a line in your box.

Follow the two links in the previous post.

Have you set up any type of box before ?
 
I've never done anything like this before tbh I have no idea what I'm doing all I have had in the past was f5s which came ready to plug and play

I've got the subscription now how on earth do I add it to my box if anyone can help please inbox all the channels are already listed but only the freeview ones are working as previously described
 
I have received an email with a test line how do I get it working onto my box I have completely no idea what to do Ive been going into the menus on the box for hours without a clue on the f5s it was simple there was a place to enter cam file info username port no ect on this box ive found nothing that seems to get it going
 
have you got or used filezilla client on pc to ftp your line over,what line is it a nline or cline as it differs in setting up.

new image i use images from wos so i know genuine,need to redo my solo as whatever happened got that spinning vix

if your a member on wos grab their manual for use on pc.

.................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ...............................

started from scratch again using a formatted INTEGRAL 8GB usb [ fussy feckers with usb sticks ] with latest image.

you are here

go through usual setups screen and network etc

download plugins and choose cam for nlines use 1.38 and for clines use 2.3.0

ftp for nlines your 2 files mgcamd and newcamd.list to var/keys on filezilla it shows usr/keys
edit /add line details to newcamd.list and save.

if using cline ftp to etc folder and add your line

Read More at : http://www.techkings.org/vu-duo2-support/56931-enigma2-box-vix-setup-6.html


best to have a folder on pc named vu solo2 or duo depending on box type and keep your mgcamd and newcamdlist there for nlines or
for CCcamcfg for your clines

I've never used FileZilla is it like cyber duck? I've used that before when I was adding xbmc to my atv2 when I go to plugins I can't what your describing there? I see a list of stuff but nothing about cams

Oh and how do you know if it's a n or c line? I have no idea I was just given a host/port/user/password thing to test it out

This is certainly nothing like the trusty old f5s I feel completely dazed
 
download plugins wait--look for softcams and select what i posted above as you have not said.

they should have said what they use or if you asked for a cline or nline
....................................................

on your skybox you know what your line is by what cam is running mg or cccam,is it from same supplier.

with these boxes best to use nlines and mgcamd.

where does it tell you what vix image it is?
 
first need to know what build your vix image is and if connected to internet.

whats it doing on apollo build 037 as you seei am on 112 on original duo,looks like an old image and on a clone box???.
any seller selling a box uses current images not one from last year.


that is why your feeds dont work because your on old image=non supported now.
 
is your rear of box identical to rear of that post?

warranty of 2 years i see for your box and clones come with null modem cable and blackhole image.

i presume you did not leave feedback on site yet until you get box up and running?


email him tomorrow to ask why he used such an old image,you can get original images for original boxes from wos

you need a good quality of usb formated to fat 32 on pc,cruzer/kingston.integral 8gb i use,download image in rar and then extract to location which is usb,with box powered off insert usb into front usb under flap and it tells you when done,only remove/insert usb when box is off at rear.

well worth your while joining wos even for these guides to download to pc.
