First Power up and Flashing:
Before I did anything else, I let the receiver boot up, to make sure it was all working ok. Once booted and I was happy, I then proceeded to shut the Zero down, pulled out my trusty Usb stick, and loaded on the Black Hole 2.1.4 image for the Vu+ Zero.
If this is your first Vu+ receiver, you will be pleased to know, that installing an image onto any of the Vu+ receivers is a very simple process. Simply grab a Usb stick, format it in fat32 with your pc, download the Black Hole image from
www.vuplus-community.net (other images are available from different teams) and extract the zip file contents to the root of your newly formatted Usb stick. Once this is done, plug the Usb stick into 1 of the rear Usb ports and then power the box on.
The Zero will do the rest and once flashing is complete it will flash the LED on and off, to let you know that it has completed. So you simply power the box off again, and remove the Usb stick, and then power the Zero back on again.
It’s a very quick and simple process and typically takes around 1 minute to reflash.
