If you are so convinced, it means we are very lucky. And, anyway, what OsX version do you use? What browser? And what VU+ image and version? "Last update" it's a bit generic.

Ok, i will clarify this further..... i have another vu box and i didnt update it .its on 3.0.3 and it works like a charm. the one that doesnt work with vlc is updated to 3.0.4 C . im using latest osx version, but it happened the same with the previous one. safary is the browser. so... the 3.0.4 update changed something for me at least. im not complaining, just want to see if i can sort it out.

This is not related to VU+ or BH. I think you did not realise that you changed the association between .m3u files and the default application in charge to open it.
Try this: download a m3u file or create a fake file with .m3u extension;
then select it and press CMD-I: this will open the info about the file but also, in the same dialog window, the OPEN WITH field. Choose VLC among your applications and below choose CHANGE ALL.

on the old box when i press the tv icon on open webif it downloads an m3u file on my desktop which is opened automatically by vlc.
On the updated box i presss the tv icon and it opens a new tab on safari and it plays the channel there.
I hope this is better explained

when you have webif open, by the television and transcoding symbol it should say what channel the box is on and thats what should stream. If you want to stream another channel you need to go to the satellite list and then select the channel you want from the list

Open vlc player,click on media then click on open file.Select network then select your vu box.
Click on harddisk then scroll down and click on tuner....All the channels are then shown for you to select .If you have a motorised setup your dish will move if needed.
The next time you open vlc click media /open file and all your channels are there.
