    Default Vu+Duo questions

    Hi,
    I can see this box has a good opinion on the forum and I would like to know few basic things about it:

    1: is it running on Enigma2 ?
    2: will it grab foxys 7 day EPG (if not can it import epgtv.xml files?)
    3: is it running hot?
    4: I guess it take easily most popular softcams... ?
    5: Picture Quality ?

    Thanks

    EDIT: whoops... wrong section, sorry. I've found all answers apart from importing EPG files in xmltv format. Thanks

    I use Cross EPG. It downloads full 7 day EPG automatically once a day.

    Its pretty hard to fault as a receiver. I am very happy with mine, especially with a 2TB hard drive running internally.

    some have reported this
    one solution was to download Newcs (even if you dont use it) as it installs a few extra startup parts for cardserver
    then manually install oscam to replace newcs ..

    Ok I see what you mean now, my mistake.
    Are you talking about the Army skin?
    I find Magic-HD the best looking skin but must admit I haven't tried Army.

    I would recommend PLI. It was the first one I installed and cant find any reason to change.

    All you need to do is put the image on a usb stick and put it in the front usb slot and reboot the box. You will find its all quite easy once you have had a play with it for a week or so.

    But if you get stuck, there are plenty of people here who have one who can help you out

    Ohh, one more question. Is there a easy way to setup one box and then transfer the lot to the next one?
