All right enigma 2 gents I need to know which file to flash my new vu+zero. I'm going to do the main setup and have a look.
 
Try the Open PLi Image. Any of the images that are designed for the Zero will work.
You should also install FileZilla on your computer so you can transfer files to the Zero through your local network.
 
Costa, the only differences you will find in the images are the flexibility offered in plugins (some may show up in the plugins section available for download and some that will work only with certain images), skins, gui layout, etc. Your choice, best to try them one at a time until you find the one you like.

You might check for a multiboot option (don't know if it's available for the Zero. Usually embedded into the image or available as a plugin. This will allow you to keep x number of images on your hard drive or usb stick that you can select from a menu to boot up and not have to flash every time you decide to change an image. Very nice option for testing purposes.
 
I can't get the zero to communicate with my tv in the living room, it works fine in the basement. I have set it to 720p which works great in the basement and 1080i which is a bit shifty. I've attempted with the other and get no sync signal.
 
Any way to load a NA satellite list? This receiver is a bit complicated, looking forward to the challenge. I have downloaded filezilla and I'm going to attempt to flash Black Hole file but not quite sure how that will go. I have it on 1080i English NHK channel on 58w, picture quality is spot on.
 
You may use my satellite file. First, See if you can connect to the receiver using FileZilla You will need to access the network in your receiver to see what ip has been assigned to your local network, then enter the receiver's ip into FileZilla and try to connect. The login or username and the password for the box should be root root.
 
I have been trying for half an hour without success at connecting my ip to filezilla. I also realised that with Black Hole I have a fully operational global satellite list. Unfortunately, only manual scan.
 
OpenPLi may have a blindscan. You will have to load it and see.

Why does FileZilla not work? What errors are you getting?
 
You will not have full benefits without file transfer capability. Did you look at the network settings for the Zero and verify the ip that has been assigned to the box?

The ip has been verified. The zero even recognizes my laptop. I tried OpenPLi but wasn't too pleased with it so I went back to Black Hole. This enigma2 really brings a whole different aspect to using an stb, really starting to like it. PR is helping me out as well on a Euro site.
 
Open up a web browser on your laptop and type the ip address of the Zero into the browser. A web interface for the receiver should appear when you do this.

The blindscan for OpenPLI would have been in the plugin downloads under system plugins.
 
BlackHole has a lot of options installed and most would say it is a full image. This is great, but the more you have installed, the slower your overall speed will be. There is an option in Black Hole to eliminate things you do not want or need.

OpenPLi has a good set of basic features, then you are expected to install the options you want or need. OpenPLi does not have the beautiful boot screens either, but you can change the boot screen if you desire. I also like the Hotkey option in OpenPLi. Hotkey allows you to map the keys on your remote to your liking. Several other images have this feature, but under different names.
 
I have decided to try all files to see which one I like the most and which is sat friendlier. I have decided to leave the zero in the basement so I don't always have to change to 60hz. Black Hole is my favourite and I also tried PKT but to heavy on the Polish language for me and a very minimal sat list with European frquencies. Open Source 2.1 is next.
