Here's the World of Satellite page for the Vu+ Duo I've mentioned. On the right-hand side of the page are the configuration options, including the ability to order it with 2 x internal dual tuners. https://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/satellite-and-terrestrial/digital-receivers/vu-plus-duo-4k-se It...

I could find none that have more than 2 T2 internal tuners The Vu+ Duo 4k SE has slots for pluggable tuners. The one on my desk has two dual FTA tuners in it. The only niggle I have with that is that the tuners have no "tuner out" connection, so to run it with 4 tuners, you need to use a ...

Last time I looked the Vu+ website was way out of date in terms of model listing. As far as I am aware all of the European Enigma2 units tend to focus on satalite/cable. I could find none that have more than 2 T2 internal tuners; they probably support USB tuners, but my friends in Europe do not con...

All the supposedly "current" PVRs I can find are at least 5 to 6 years old, found that out by checking their latest FW releases. The Vu+ Duo 4k SE PVR that I have sitting on my desk beside me (it runs various enigma2 images including OpenViX) was released two years ago, and isn't "5 ...

There's a nice one just released in the UK with all the bells and whistles... Can you post any more information or links about that? TIA Pretty sure it was the Humax FVP-5000T, not positive, but it is set to UK Freeview. As I mentioned, different audio broadcast specs too... not positive about that...

So... Been wondering, the V2 has been out for a while now and technology is moving on, HDR, HDR10, you know, all the new stuff the V2 can't do, what's next? Is there gonna be a next? Is the V2 the last wiz? If so, who is taking up the cudgel for the next generation, and please don't say Fetch, becau...

NoDeity

Ahh, Bugger! The U4 did die after all. Stuck with the crappy fetch until the new V2 gets here, hopefully very early next week. NOT HAPPY JAN..!

Some streaming services can do 4k but rarely do, they're expensive, and the content disappears at the drop of a hat. Might have to go back to building one with an old PC, I have enough parts laying about, but I'd really prefer not to.

Thanks again

NoDeity

@MrQuade Ah yeah Samsung :) Tried all those tests you mentioned previously, but I did it again for piece of mind, because well, you ;) and it worked except it does lock up briefly showing the spinner for some reason. Put it back on the original port, and it works there now too? Weird that it only ha...

Sorry I didn't get beck sooner, been busy. @netmask, that Sony issue sucks, looks like I might need to get on my hands and knees to petition for a replacement. :wink: BTW, that Zidoo looks awesome, if it had an antenna I'be all over one of the cheaper models. :) @MrQuade, I actually only used dynami...

So I connected directly to the TV (HDMI 1 & 2) and went through the whole shebang, the Denon is on Enhanced HDMI, the TV is on Dynamic (also tried the other settings), and no change. Honestly, I'm just gonna live with it for now, it's not a life or death deal. I have to say, if there was a decen...

NoDeity

Thanks for going the extra mile on this, I appreciate it. I use a reasonably new Denon AV, and the first three of 7 HDMI's are for this type of output, the rest are more specialised. I swapped them around to see if there were any changes, but they all work the same. I went through all those settings...

NoDeity

I'm not silly enough to argue the point, you know your stuff, but it's a 65" Q70 series Samsung which isn't that old, and it plays HDR fine via the other devices, so I'm not sure why the U4 or V2 would be causing a problem. The settings are pretty basic from Dynamic, through to natural, none of...

NoDeity

Both the U4 and V2 specs say that they can do HDR in 1080 and 4K, neither of mine run an HDR video (mostly MKV) without a heavy violet tinge? I must be missing something in the settings or something, as usual? I even went to the trouble of buying an expensive HDMI cable (Certified HDMI 2.1 Ultra HD ...

Ok, I'm in, took a bit of fiddling though. Honestly, I actually didn't realise that the username had an extra capital in it after all these years. Been coming here intermittently since 2008 and always just used an auto login. Thanks for the help, as usual, you guys rock!

NoDeity

There isn't any such thing as a single universal "code number" that universal remotes can use to identify a device. Every universal remote manufacturer (or chipset manufacturer) will have their own unique code numbers. If your remote has a code for a "Venton Unibox HD4", this ha...

Hey guys, I just bought an Inteset Remote INT-422-3 as a supplementary to my Logitech, but it doesn't have a Setup Code number for any of the Wiz's. Fortunately it is programmable, but it would be a lot quicker if I had the U4 code number. Is there one? and if so, what is it? Thanks

Problems with Ethernet cables may well explain what you are seeing. The OpenWebif information may only cover the first link in the chain. In my case I access the U4 located in the loung from my study which is upstairs, there are several links involved: U4 to TP Link 16 port switch, that connects to...

I tried using different ports from one to eight, and the other ports all show Gigabit, it's only when I swap to the U4 cable that it reverts to 100Mb/s, and I've tried different cables. I'll assume that's different cables between router and wall socket. What about between the U4 and its wall socket...

My U4 seems to be randomly changing its Ethernet speed between 10mb/s and 65Mb/s. I regularly upload files from my PC to the U4, and it regularly changes back and forth, well, it seems to prefer the slower speed, but now and then it will jump up to the higher speed. The U4 is supposed to be capable ...

I think some Logitech products are multi-protocol. You can switch them between Bluetooth or proprietary 2.4GHz mode that uses a Logitech dongle and makes the device appear as a standard USB HID device. That would be probably the best option in terms of less stuffing about with the Beyonwiz side of ...

Thank You "MrQuade and peteru" Great help as usual, I'm thinking of getting the Logitech K480 Multi-Device Bluetooth Keyboard for its switching ability, so I can use the same board with my U4, NUC and phone. Might just pull the trigger, I have a couple of older Bluetooth dongles laying aro...

Hi, The Beyonwiz firmware was more closely aligned with the OpenViX firmware. OpenATV is also derived from OpenViX. Both of these were derived from OpenPLi. OpenPLi came out of the original Dream product. Regards, Ian. Interesting.! Which one would you recommend, I say that having had a look at the...

NoDeity

Not sure if that is possible, but captain is referring to the OpenATV distribution of firmware, not the Beyonwiz version. So, I'm assuming here looking at the OpenATV site which has firmware for the Wiz V2, that I can install that FW to replace the beyonwiz FW? If so, does that void the Wiz warrant...

NoDeity

Whatever it actually uses, it can demand no less than 100mA. And if the hub is powered by the USB ("unpowered") it is likely to ask for 100mA for its own use. That makes a possible 1100mA, which is not available. Yeah, that makes sense, I think all my powered hubs are USB2, I may buy a ch...

NoDeity

The hub will have a power budget of its own. Depending on how much power is available, it may not have had enough left over for a harddisk. Is the harddisk powered separately too, or is it USB powered? The HDD is powered by the V2's USB3 connection, though I wouldn't have thought a keyboard dongle ...

NoDeity

You need to grab a powered USB hub. One way of using it would be to connect it to the USB 3 port (so buy a USB 3 hub) and connect the main recording drive and tuner(s) through it, plus any other (semi-)permanent devices (e.g. keyboard or wireless dongles). The USB 2 port would then be free for flas...

Yes, you should never unplug the Tuner while the V2 is running. The system is definitely not designed to deal with live-plugging of tuners and will become unstable if you do that.

Why didn't you say something before I made it crash then..?

NoDeity

I can't see how the presence of the script file on the USB drive would cause the lock up. As far as I know, the hotplug detection code is looking for media files or .ipk install packages. Possibly it may have been a driver issue. From what I've seen, the thing is pretty temperamental, so it could j...

Because the all the T/U/V boxes have a two fixed network shares. one to the log folder in flash, and one to the movie folder on the "hdd". In your case, the hdd is the SD card. Or at least that is how the V2 views the SD card. It's not a great solution to the issue, but the V2's harddisk ...

You also need to change the code set that the remote is sending. Anyway, now you have a remote that will send 0x02f3 codes. You can then switch the U4 to use the same 0x02f3 code set, and there will be no conflicts with the V2 when using the U4's bundled remote. Up and running now. Thankyou MrQuade...

So I have the U4 and the V2 setup on separate HDMI ports on my Sound system and when I use the V2 the U4 matches remote signal and so when I told the V2 to initialise the HDD the U4 did the same without me realising it, you can imagine my consternation. Anyway I tried to use a different code on the ...

What speed is the card (Ultras are normally U1 I think)? I would recommend U1 or "Class 10" as a minimum, with U3 being more ideal.

Says 48 Mb/s so I'm assuming plenty fast enough. Thanks for the help as usual MrQuade.
