i have only a problem the hdmi port doesn't work anymore from the 1 time that i unplugged from the tv because i moved to another city.

Hi is there something in the settings of latest BH image which will stop me from flashing a different image. I like the BH image but fancy a change and have tried to flash 3 different images, all with same results. Either gets stuck on BH black screen or on the Blue screen which says 'booting' in bottom right corner. Have tried Vix Open ATv and VTI images. don't have any problem reflashing to BH image

thanks gray

There shouldn't be a problem. Try a different USB stick, or try formatting your current USB stick, and try again.
Which model VU+ receiver have you got?

Hi, looking for advise, have a Brand spanking new Vu+ Duo 2 on the way, a little nervous, do I need to update drivers like I've heard before flashing, can can anyone post a link a where to download latest Black Hole image for Vu+ Duo2 please? These are probably silly questions but am a newbie. Lastly, have a 2TB 3.5" drive to go in it, from what I read above need t format it and do I put it in before flashing? Thanks

Fit your hard drive first, it's quite easy, and only tkes a couple of minutes, there are even videos, on youtube, showing how to do it.
Next download Black Hole 2.1.1:
http://www.vuplus-community.net/board/threads/black-hole-vu-duo2-2-1-1.18529/
Then follow the guides on how to install it:

If you experience any problems please post a new thread, after you receive your VU+ Duo 2.
Hi Mick12334, thanks so much, much appreciated. One last question, i had heard scare stories about updating drivers on box first or are the drivers updated in black hole 2.1.1 automatically? Lastly, as it's a new box, do I flash it from first turning on or do i let it install it's original software with it's wizard first before flashing BH? Thanks

Just flash new image and go through the set up wizard.You might want to install a ready made sat/channel list after that to get you going.Drivers are already updated in new image so don't worry

Great, thanks Robocop1967, so when I take out of box and plug in will have the BH flash on a usb already in USB drive and formatted hard drive installed before first switching on. Think I have it now. Was just a bit scared as they are not cheap. Appreciate the help everyone, thanks
