The BlackHole SpeedUp feature allows you to enable / disable various plugins and features that are included by default in the image, so you can disable any plugins you do not wish to use, and this will in turn speed up the boot (and restart) time of your Vu+ receiver. That is with the default settings in Blackhole Speed up.

We measured a boot up from power on to 39 seconds.

We went with The BlackHole Image for the Zero which worked great. Turn off / on the Zero and the receiver boots up with the new image.Wait until the power led blinks on off in a pattern Insert the USB stick into a USB port on the Zero.Download the VU+ Zero image you want to install on your PC.On the rear of Vu+ Zero we find a pretty good selection of connections in spite of the compact design. On the front there is room for the single card reader which like always you need to activate yourself using some kind of soft cam software. There is a simple power led on the front. On the front we do not find a display that would obviously had added some cost to the unit and actually there also really is not any room for a usable sized display anyway so we have no issue with that. The design is in plastic but it actually looks nice and glossy. It only measures 160 x 145 x 30 mm making it the most compact receiver in the Vu+ lineup. The Vu+ Zero is a very compact and low key receiver design wise. There is no CI ports on this model from Vu+ and we are talking a single fixed satellite tv tuner so no way to change tuners so you cannot receive terrestrial or cable.
