I have been using my vu+ duo(clone) for more than 5 months now without issue,recently I notice if I click Ok some time on a channel,the receiver will go off and start rebooting. I have changed to various images,the result is the same. Some time it keeps rebooting without stopping.

I have had same problem with my clone!...
If its the same as my problem i Tracked it to the PSU
Whenever the box needed a little power like epg loads zapping ETC it would reboot!
Seams like after some time the psu cant handle the load..
mine also would go in to a loop if i had wifi plugged in as it was using extra power....
Got rid of my duo Clone and got a Vu+ Ultimo :thum:

Guys clones, whatever brand are rubbish, stick to original boxes.
Better pay some more but be sure of an stable receiver.
I have been using my VU Duo since they came on the market, never a dsy any issues.

You make a vaery valid point but not all clone are bad ive had some DMM clones for a very long time with no issues Eagle DM500 clone still running, DM8000 still running DM500HD and DM800SE & SR4 clone still running.
I have had a mother board go in my Original 800HD though but it was 4 years old to its credit, ive had a fan and PSU go in my VU+ Duo which i replaced and it still going strong.
I guess my clones will go at some point as will all electrical kit one day.
Swings and roundabout there are some poor clones on the market i know just by from a UK source and youll get the same 12 month warrenty as a original.
I will at some point by a real Ultimo though to go with the duo but at the moment the clones are working well enough for me to resist this.
Clones are not necessarily the cause of reboots and remember those denigrating clones may sell legit Duos - so they may be just pushing the marketing line.
AFAIK I've got an legitimate Vu+ Duo and it sometimes reboots. So clones are not necessarily the cause.
Because of the HDMI switch-on facility, my TV switches on too. One night I thought I had a break-in because the TV was on downstairs. It took me a two more goes to work out that the 1:00 am scheduled epg download had somehow failed and caused a reboot! Epg now downloads at 8:00 am!
Also since BH 1.7.4 the whole software feels less stable than it once was - 1.6 say. Yesterday, for instance, I switched on to a find purple screen, a notice telling me a programme had been recorded and the whole box locked - not accepting any inputs. A reboot after power removal did nothing apart from remove the purple hue; it still couldn't get past 'starting gui'. In the end I did a complete re-install - third time on this release. So this latest software is a bit flakey; also the BH team seem not to want crash logs as there is no email address for the software to report its failings to. I had 9 crash logs at the last clear-out. All a bit odd if you ask me.
I do pound my box though with asking to stream over the net whilst in stand-by and maybe recording too.
