VU ZERO 4K TV
The Zero 4K also supports HbbTV, just tune to a channel that provides the service (Vox Music on Hotbird 13☎ for example) and press the red button, the Zero 4K will then use your internet connection to connect to Vox Music’s on-demand services.Īs mentioned earlier, the Zero 4K gives you the option to use IPTV either from plugins, or directly from your channel list (bouquets), when using IPTV from the bouquets, it is just like watching TV directly from the Satellite or Cable tuners.
VU ZERO 4K DRIVER
This is just a cosmetic issue, that I’m sure will be resolved soon, with a driver update. This means on a transponder that you would usually see around 70% signal, will show as 100%, and therefore a lower signal level that is usually around 35% will show as 70% signal. There is (at the time of writing this review) as bug in the displayed signal level from the DVB-S2X tuner, which seems to add approx. I am not going to go into what this means here, but I can assure you that it is working just fine. This is the only box currently from Vu+ that supports DVB-S2X or Multistream (aka MIS). The Zero 4K comes with single DVB-S2X tuner which also supports Multistream. If you have some HDR content on your NAS drive it will also play that back too.
VU ZERO 4K 1080P
In 1080p mode, the picture is as sharp and clear as on any of the other Vu+ 4K receivers. I believe this issue will be resolved with a driver update, there was a similar issue with my TV when the Solo 4K was released. Due to this I do not get as sharp or clear a picture as I do in 1080p mode. My TV is a 2015 model and therefore it does not support HLG. However if you do have a 4K tv then you can set the Zero 4K to output at 2160p and this will do all the upscaling for you, obviously SD content does not look as good as HD and UHD, but it doesn’t do a bad job of the upscaling (probably a lot better than some of the cheaper 4K tv’s can manage on their own). The Zero 4K will output tv pictures at many different resolutions, so you do not need to have an Ultra HD tv to use this receiver, in-fact viewing 4K UHD channels on a 1080p tv makes you wonder if you even need a 4K tv as the picture is bright and clear even when downscaled.
VU ZERO 4K INSTALL
The Zero 4K is a Smart Box, which means you can install plugins on it, and it also supports HbbTV, and you can use IPTV channels in your bouquets, just like if you were watching Satellite or Cable tv. The “PLUG” docking station, will sit under the Zero 4K, and plug into the bottom of it, turning “The True UHD Zapper” into a fully-fledged PVR. On first boot after flashing, you will be greeted with the setup wizard, just follow the simple onscreen instructions to setup your new Zero 4K. It is a very quick and simple process and it doesn’t take long to reflash this box. Once this is done, plug the usb stick into the usb 2.0 port at the rear and then power the box on at the rear, the Vu+ logo on the front panel will start to flash in a slow (almost like it’s breathing) sequence, and when finished, it flash on and off to let you know that flashing is complete.Īt this point you can power off the box and remove the usb stick.
VU ZERO 4K ZIP FILE
Simply grab a usb stick, format it in fat32 with your pc, download the BlackHole image from (other images are available from different teams) and extract the zip file contents to the root of your newly formatted usb stick. 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. Once booted and I was happy, I then proceeded to shut down the Zero 4K, pulled out my favourite usb stick, and loaded on the Black Hole 3.0.5 image for the Vu+ Zero 4K. With all the connections done, I flicked the switch on the rear and powered on the box for the first time.īefore I did anything else, I let the receiver boot up, to make sure it was all working ok. I also connected up the HDMI cable to my TV, plugged an Ethernet cable from my router (there is no built in Wi-Fi on the Zero 4K), and then I connected the power supply. I connected my Zero 4K up to my motorised dish.
