I just bought the VU+DUO and a dish set it up and ready for the rest, now i understand that i need to flash the VU+ "xxxxxx" i want to do it right so i wont stay there with a very nice box that gives black screen..:(
my question is, what is the first image i need to put and i would love if you can direct me to a step by step guide eventually youtube video or like..
i read about blackhole (BH) and the boot loader updates but which one is first and what they do?
sorry for all this questions i just find my self keep on reading and only get more and more confused.

Kindly.
Davis

Well it seems that something is wrong, i did all the above steps, partitioned the usb to master boot record and formated to FAT via diskutility on the mac, made the 3 directories as followed USB name: VU BOX then Directory folder and inside it vuplus folder and inside it duo folder where i copied the boot_cfe_auto.jffs2 + kernel_cfe_auto + root_cfe_auto.jffs2 (1 more time?)
Then i turned the VU totaly off put the USB inside turned it on and waited - im getting "loading..." for ever and no indication from the usb light of R/W activity.
im not sure whats wrong but i must say that the reciever is not connected to the dish yet only to the TV but that shouldn't make any difference as far as i know..

1st update the boot loader , only (on the USB),,,this file: NO partitions NO directories etc!
2ndly Install images as explained at the other posts (I would recommend to re format before unzipping the BH image directlyto USB)!
Is better always to unzip files directly to the USB (to be inserted @front slut)

Then have a cup of Coffee or Tea and read few posts at V-C board!
;)Have fun!
