Hello,
what does it mean this red blinking dot?
Some times it appears from nothing and disappears only after restart.
Not recording or using Webif.

The red dot blinking mean a recording in progress.
If you have forwarded streaming ports from your router to your box, close them.
 
I have checked time controls, recordings and etc., there is everything empty, no files or progress. I have disabled Webif application, but this red dot is still blinking. Yes, ports are forwarded, but webif application now is turned off and it is set with password, so no one can't connect without my knowledge.
Sometimes I am streaming television from my box to PC via internet, so ports forwarding must be enabled.
Maybe some one hacked my box and streaming TV without my permission :D
How to check that?

Login to your box and launch the following command:

Code: 
netstat -tupan

In the output, look the column called "Local Address": if you have some entry with :8001 or :8002 port and the state is "ESTABLISHED", someone is viewing TV via your box and Internet.

The same line with "LISTEN" status is normal and is OK.

Someone find solution for this? It's happening to me. Already changed password and try lot of things but this still happening. Now start happening again in one channel, or tp. If i go to definitions and info streaming and show streaming info. If restart vu and change for another channel/tp nothing happen. If change to affected channel, start streaming and need restart box. What can I do? Can someone help me? I use openblackhole
 
Stop streaming, turn off your WiFi, either by disconnecting your router, or turning both options off, in your VU+ menu, then check all your timer lists, or do a fresh installation, without using any backups. If the problem ceases then you know that either you've been hacked, or somebody else, near to your receiver, is accessing it.

What passwords have you changed? Your streaming device, laptop, or other, might have been hacked, so changing the password, on your VU+, might be useless, if someone has access to your laptop, and your passwords are stored, equally if they have a keylogger, or other malware, installed, that can detect all your passwords.
 
Maybe you can throw the buggy and dangerous windows out of your... window!
You wrote a sentence I can't understand because it seems not complete:
"If i go to definitions and info streaming and show streaming info".
???
What do you read there about clients streaming? You did not specify it.
