I suggest to reflash your box with a clean image.

Thank you for all the replies I take it this is as easy as unzip the file onto a usb power off machine plug my usb in and power back on excuse my knowledge as ive only had the box for a month only just getting to grips with it
 
It`s told many times before, but ok :yes:
Unrar/Unzip the file and put the complete folder called vuplus on a fat32 formatted usb stick.
Power off the vu duo with the switch on the back, now insert the usb stick in the front and make sure you`ve no other usb sticks attached.
Power on with the switch on the back and just follow the display on your box until it says that you should remove and reboot your box.
Then remove the stick and power off and on and off you go.

USB stick format for flashing has to be FAT32, it's not necessary to disconnect your internal HDD.

my mac only gives me the option to format msdos fat i dont have the option to format the pen to fat32 any suggestions

This is not MAC forum, but :secret: format in Msdos fat, next initialize your stick, make partition FAT32.......

Use other stick. And what is that "banner flashing" you are still writting about? Please, write less and more clear.
