          you can flash image directly, if you use one of the latest images (for example vti 4.0, black hole 1.7.1), don't forget to flash last bootdriver to, it's called duo_cfe.3.0.
          It's very easy to flash this and image with with usb
          good luck

                  Copy the files to usb stick in folder /vuplus/duo
                  Power off Duo
                  Insert usb stick in front port of Duo
                  Power on Duo

                  The bootloader install only takes a 3 or 4 seconds.

                  Remove the files fromthe USB stick before trying to flash a new image.

                  "open based" isn't an image. Do you mean the VIX image which is based on Open Pli?

                      Re: vu+ duo questions and support

                      I think BlackHole 1.7.1 is probably the best image for the Duo (although I changed the default skin as it wasn't one of my favorites).
                      A lot of people seem to like the Vix image also.

                      I think by "vuplus 6" you are referring to the official image from the manufacturer. You won't gain anything by installing this, as the "unofficial" images (BlackHole, Vix, Vti, OpenPli, etc.) are a lot more customisable.

                      Open source means that developers (e.g. the BH team) have access to the source code and are able to develop it and make it better, more stable and error free and more customisable.

                            The updates are nightly builds, it aren't new versions. Just install 1 time the pli image for your vu+ model. Updates can be done with the softwareupdate in image I think once the image installed on your receiver.
