Dear community,

I have had a Vu+ Duo2 for the last 2 years and have overall had a great experience with the box.

Unfortunately, after I updated my box via the "Menu-> Settings-> Update software" option I have had the problem that the box frequently freezes (spins the wheel in the top left corner) for some 2-4 minutes, which is very frustrating. I've tried to analyze the problem and it mostly appears to happen when I switch from my DVB-S to my DVB-T tuner, but also within DVB-S channel switches. As I always relate this to a memory problem, I've tried to disabling picons, shorten the channel list, etc., but without success. The box is with the newest OpenPli version (menu update).

For a short period of time I've had this problem before, but got it solved via a usb software update, which deleted everything and, in general, seems to be far more fundamental than the software update via the box menus. 

Can someone help me with a further explanation of this "thinking" or freezing of the box?

Can someone explain whether the menu-update really updates everything or would you recommend downloading from OpenPli and updating manually?

If latter, how can I prevent loss of settings, etc.? 

Thank you!
