HI all
I just received my 2nd VU+duo box ... but my 1st clone..
it looks like its installed with VIX

i seem to have issue with tuners.

im using fixed dish on 28.2E and ive setup both tuner A and B as
configuration mode:single
mode: single
satellite Mr.mister/Vix(28.2E)
send DiSEqC: no

and done a scan for channels and it find nothing.


if i goto setup / Vix / backup manager
it can see a line of text that says
Devise: there was a problem with this device, please reformat and try

(then it goes off screen)

if i do a factory reset on the box will this wipe the VIX image.

im just wondering if there faulty tuners or im missing a step here???

please help

try a reflash see how you get on.
but it wont be the first time ive heard of a clone duo with faulty tuners...

Was the Vu+ Duo a brand new clone, ie, shipped from China or the supplier as a brand new unit with ViX installed or did you buy it 2nd user?

I do not understand how you can select a satellite named "Mr.Mister/VIX" in the configuration menus. The satellite.xml file should not contain that name. The tuners use the installed satellites.xml file as a source for the satellite lists. Are you getting the channel settings list confused with the tuner list of satellites.

If I was you I would carry out a factory reset on the box and wipe the satellite list and channel setting that has been installed. After processing the factory reset create and download a satellites.xml file from this site:

satellites.xml generator / transponder .ini generator

FTP this to the Vu+Duo. After that load "Rat's Channel List" for 28.2E into the Vu+ Duo (list available on this forum).

the box was bought "as new" on ebay the seller stated he had turned box on to test with a HDD.

i know on my other box running BH the option was names as Astra 28.2 along with a few others...

also now the display on the box has stopped working... ive gone into display setup menu and the bars are set fairly high for on and standby so not sure if there is option on remote for "display off" thats been accidently pressed. if not the box will be going back to the seller as faulty.


just noticed i think there maybe channels installed previously as pressing the arrow keys on the circle on the remote bring up channels. i tried bbc / itv etc but no channels are appearing. im thinking more n more its faulty tuner??

Do the factory reset and eliminate all the guff on the box and set it up again from the beginning. If it's still faulty send it back to the joker you bought it off and if they mess you about tell them you will do a chargeback on the PayPal and shaft them good style... End Of !!

just trying factory reset and on the setup page when it gets to tuner A setup
configuration simple
satellite: options are nothing connected or Mr.Mister / Vix(28.2E)
send DiSEqC: no

as mentioned b4 surely this should say astra not Mr.mister ?

You have a bitched satellites. xml file

Before you do the factory reset, create and download the satellites.xml file then FTP it to the box, then do the factory reset.

The joker who sold you that box has bitched it up good style.

Did you get it cheap, it might be a bargain if the Joker sold it on thinking it was bitched when all it might need is a total reconfiguration?

got the diaply working i took lid off the check ribbon cable etc.. all looked ok. just have the left and right side of the box a gentle tap and the display flicked back on.

so now back to original tuner issue..

so did factory reset basically took me back to setup hdmi, language, tuner A setup which still gave me the Mr.Mister / Vix(28.2E)

where can i download the satellites.xml file from? and what folder in the box do i paste it into (i assume i need to overwrite the file)

i paid just under £180 + postage for it it also says is V2 on the back,.
