Only you can load an image, by using your USB stck.
Have you tried loading an image?
Format your USB to FAT 32, using your PC, download the image, and extract it using winzip, winrar, 7-zip, or other utility, and place the vuplus folder on your desktop, makes it easier to find. Ensure you have the correct image, for your receiver.
Can you please explain what you've done so far and where you are stuck, without breaking the forum rules.

The first thing you need to do is ensure that your VU+ receiver is genuine, as loading the later Black Hole images can kill clone receivers.
If you have checked, and you can trust your supplier, then you need to download the correct image, for your receiver. Is your receiver a VU+ Duo, or a VU+ Duo 2?
If it is a genuine VU+ Duo then download this image:

Then follow the guide, for loading the image:

Once you have done that we can move on to scanning in channels, setting up bouquets, which are just favourites, and configuring it to match your system, fixed satellite s#dish, motorized satellite dish, etc...

cheers for reply. unfortunately i have no idea abt the sat alignment cos i live in a newly flat with a communal sat dish on a 18block high and twin input/output for recievers. After some research i learnt Astra 28.2E is best. so tried on tuner A and got over 500 channels now but most are channels that replicate the themselves. ie(r the same).
with sports and kids channels scramble/lock i feel unhappy as b4 getting the box.

If you live in the UK then the dish is probably pointing at 28.2E.
You can use the manual scan option, to add channels, check lyngsat.com, for all channels, and frequencies:

You can set up your own Bouquets, name them what you want, using the numerical pad, like texting, then copy the channels to the relevant bouquet.
