- My Tuners config.:
tuner A: Vuplus DVB-S NIM(AVL6222) (DVB-S2). Loopthrough to tuner B

Tuner B: VU+ DVB-S NIM(AVL6222) (DVB-S2) advanced

Tuner C: VU+ DVB-C NIM(CXD 1978) (DVB-C) switchable tuner types: (DVB-T,DVB-T) enabled.

- What do mean which list??
If get it right I use: CrossEPG-XEPGDB providers.
- The most improtant sats are: Hotbird 13.0, Arabsat, Nilesate and Astra, I would not mind finding some Hungarian channels.
- What I did is allot to this reciever, to make it start, I activate almost everything I sow.
I flashed several times due to crashes. Finally I flash it again and went almost step by step like the test done here in VU+ community.
I am not sure which Black Hole I am really using now. I didnot download any after the last flash. I have a motor, but last night I noticed I can find/locate the sat I want somehow fixed on Hotbird 13.
I do have channels now, non is HD (as fare as I sow) most all have that old/small screen size.
My tuner C found the all channels her, but only non HD I can watch, maybe due to the code of ziggo card which I could not add yet, Duo2 does not recongnise this card.

Read Forum Rules here http://www.vuplus-community.net/rules.html (you are close to break them, be careful), and check your longitude and lattitude motor setting (Groningen, NL 53,219N 6,567E).
If you motor is USALS, it's better for you not to use advanced tuner settings, but simple.
 
Some photo shots
First of all try to set up your motor correctly if it supports USALS.
Tutorial howto.. is here:
http://www.vuplus-community.net/board/threads/tuner-config-tutorial-for-motor-dish-setup.12884/
you need to enter correct long and lat for your location (as mentioned by @paolino) and your motor/dish must be set correctly to point at every sat available at your location.
I use motor which supports USALS but my dish isn't set correctly so I use advanced configuration. If you need help to set up advanced configuration I'll try to write some tutorial over the weekend.
If your motor does not support USALS then you can use advanced option.

You need channel list (other neme - settings list) made to work with the motor. Pre-made settings list is the best for most people, you can change it to match your requirements later on. You can download it from the Internet (and load it to your box using DreamBox Edit or any other settings editor) or BH feed (menu > addons > online feeds settings update) and select most recent motor settings (ATM when I'm writing this post the most recent motor settings are enigma2-settings-likra-motor dated from 2013.07.11).
If you having small pictures when watching channels you can customize your A/V settings by going to menu > setup > system > A/V settings and change the following:
display 4:3 content as - just scale,
display > 16:9 content as - just scale.
That's the simplest way to get full screen picture. You can play with autoresolution as well, but at this stage I'd suggest to make sure that your dish is pointing correctly at every sat you want to watch.
Get your motor working correctly first then try to find some fre-to-air HD channels by checking sats like Astra 28.2 and Astra 19.2.

Thank u very much for this clear instructions. I would appreciate any extra information or tutorial u may post.
I will keep u informed about my progress.
It seems My dish is not set correctly, the location posted by @paolina does not work for me, the location on my old receiver is better, not perfect: 053,0 North , 004.9
East. With those data I get Nilesat signal, not strong one, though.

It's not strange. MMS support is a licensed feature. Other boxes have (I hope for them) catch a valid license. Actually Vu+ has not that license in their chips. If you need it, write directly to Vu+ :)

Thank you for your answer,
Does that mean that if VU+ want to get mms license they have to completely another chip (hardware), OR they only need to get mms license and then can use current chip ? whats official VU+ web page ?
Thanks in advance

I think all SoC CPUs used into Vu+ products can manage MMS streams but it's my point of view.

I have loaded this on my VU+Duo2 and overall, it works fine. I had a bit of trouble sorting out how to configure the display, but persevered, and now that works.
BUT… I have no time shift function at all :(
On another system (I tried a few before coming back to BH), VTI I think, I had the same problem, but I got the "Permanent Timeshift" plugin to work. I haven't tried this on BH as it's a bit of an overkill for my needs. The normal time shift would suit me fine if I could get it working.
I read here : duo2-vfd-controller-update.13505/ (I can't post the full link… I'm too much of a newbie ;)), that there's a firmware update for DUO2, which may have something to do with it, as it appears to affect the play/pause key :confused: Trouble is, I can't try this in BH, so I may have to flash back to OEM system to sort this…
I did add the "timeshift" folder that was missing at the root of my HD, and gave it all the privileges, but it made no difference.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd be grateful :thanks:
