New Vix Image 2.4 VU+ Duo

Copied from another forum he's also a member on here

Just a word of warning.

the latest images/updates are using newer drivers which aren't compatible with the clones, so i would stay away from using the latest images or doing online updates if you are using Vix/BH.

Taken from another forum, Tested and working on both my Duo and Solo Clones...

if you want the latest build 2.4 vix running but keeping the old drivers.

install vix 2.4 -151
then edit the "status" file in the below location


/usr/lib/opkg/


in this status file look for this section


Package: vuplus-dvb-modules
Version: 3.1.1-r16.20120228
Depends: kernel-3.1.1, update-modules
Provides:
Status: install ok installed
Architecture: vuduo
Installed-Time: 1339430040
Auto-Installed: yes


notice the version says 28-02-2012 drivers
now we edit this line to read 28-06-2012 which are the latest vuplus drivers. like so:-


Package: vuplus-dvb-modules
Version: 3.1.1-r16.20120628
Depends: kernel-3.1.1, update-modules
Provides:
Status: install ok installed
Architecture: vuduo
Installed-Time: 1339430040
Auto-Installed: yes


once done, save the file
telnet into box
then type


init 4
opkg update
opkg upgrade
init 6


job done, now clone running vix 2.4 - 213 with older drivers.

I have a clone and love it never had a problem with it either and it's easy to use.

I recently bought a legit one for £285...what sort of price do the clones go for ?

[Ashley]

Mine was 180 but originals were a going for quite a bit more. They have dropped the original prices due to forthcoming release of new models I believe.

Just got round to getting this upgraded as I had some time on my hands.

Been fun having a tinker.

[Tim.Lad]

Did you put 3.0 on it ?

[4me2]

Did you put 3.0 on it ?

No 2.4.

[Ashley]

Did you put 3.0 on it ?

Has that been released for the duo?

[Tim.Lad]

Yep I'm running it now..

[4me2]

Yep I'm running it now..

It's a beta isn't it ?

[bobo06]

Don't really see the point in upgrading
