Problems installing Blackhole 3.1.0 on VU+ duo2.

Installed Firmware Blackhole 3.1.0 on VU+ duo2 with 4 tuners.
On the TV along the bottom left it says "starting enigma2.." after the installation.
Should it be like this all the time?
Date and time display error.
The date is always displayed as 01.01.1970.
The clock also shows errors even if I set the correct time zone for Sweden.
What's wrong?

I can't find where to set the tuners.
At info – About, all tuners are visible.
At "Service Searching" - "Tuner configuration" it says "no configured"
If I press OK, I get to "Configuration Mode - not configured"
What's wrong?

You should have had the option of setting up your tuners during installation, of Blackhole.
What is your satellite dish setup?
Most users have migrated to openBh, including me, on my VU+ duo2, but I have stuck with the older OpenBh 5.0, as I use Kodi 19.4, as the newer Kodi 20 isn't fully supported yet, by the Kodi addons.
Code:

You might have to register, to get the downloads.

Satellite dish setup - 0.8°W Thor
I have previously used ***** for channels from Allente.
Did a reinstall and found it.
Which should I choose 0.8W ku-band or c-band.
How about Open Bh 5.0 to see the Allente channels.
Should you then install Kodi 20?

Should it be written like this?
Enter Volts and 22Hz where -Yes
Only send DiSEqC if the satellite is changed - no

Can I copy my channels with DreamEdit to BH 3.1.0.
I used to use a very old version of BH.

yes, you can FTP your channel list, using dreamboxedit, I do it all the time.
If you have a quad LNB, with four separate cables, then you can use all 4 tuners.
Seems a bit of a waste, of 4 tuners, unless you're not able to add other dishes, to pick up more satellites.

Please read the forum rules:

In a lot of images, including OpenBh, you can download certain items from the plugins menu.

I have a subscription for Allente and the old version worked fine.
Now the box crashed and then I want all my channels back.
Can OpenBh 5 and kodi 20 work for me?

Kodi 20 is still in the development stage, which is why I am still using OpenBh 5.0. as 5.1 only allows download of Kodi 20, which my older addons don't work with.
If you use Kodi, I'd stick with openBh 5.0, for now, and wait until Kodi 20 has completed testing.

Blackhole 3 works and I can search for channels, but it does not read the Allente card that is in the card reader.
Is there a place where I can set which card reader should be active?
Maybe that's what's wrong?

Your card reader should be automatically activated, press the blue button to see details. Searching for channels has nothing to do with a card, channels will scan in unless you select only FTA, Free To air, when scanning.

Thanks for any help.
Now it started.
It was probably Allente who didn't send updates that often.

After 5 min.
You couldn't be happy for too long.
Now the image disappeared again.
Black square.
Maybe there is something wrong with the box.

Now the picture back again. Will have to wait.

Follow up:
Now I have used the box with BH for a while and after Allente sent update codes all the channels work again.
What I noticed is that the image quality is much better.
There is one adjustment: scaling up.
Which strength should I choose?
Now the bar is in the middle.
Can't see the image changing when changing.
What does it mean?

I had a red mark on the small screen on the box when recording with the old BH.
How do I get the selection back?
Good to see the mark so I know the recording is happening.
