General Issues when using with Vu+ Solo2

Hi,

I have a Vu+ Solo2 happily running the latest major version of OpenVix. The box has 2 DVB-S tuners and one external (Vu Turbo) DVB-T.

I setup Kodi v17 Krypton on my Win8 PC and I was able to configure the VU+/Enigma PVR add on to connect to the box with relative ease. Subsequently, I have had the following issues.

1. The guide takes a long time to sync (notification on the top right).Despite this the guide info is always blank. I would rather just disable the guide as it’s not important for me, this doesn’t appear to be possible?
2. The plugin is impacting performance of the set top box, even when it’s not doing anything. It causes the ‘working’ icon to be displayed every min or so and makes the box sluggish. EG,changing channels takes a few seconds.

Is there another add on I can use instead?

Thanks!
