Day One with VU+ Duo.. Questions!

[123456780]

I've been trying out different images all weekend but decided to come back to ViX. I am also having the issue with the picons not showing in the EPG. - Even though my settings are as they were before.

Here are my settings:

Here is the EPG, not showing picons:
Ep6SG.jpg

Here is the info bar, showing picon:

So obviously the picons work... Just not in the EPG.

Any ideas?

no basically when i press up/down i dont want an epg at all, i would like the channel banner to come up and be able to scroll through channels and then press the centre button to change channel.. same as sky etc.. cheers mick

press left/right on the circle button instead.

excellent - i can program my harmony to do left/right when i press up/down.. this is more for my wife than me as she wants it ala sky!

press left/right on the circle button instead.

usually i have mine set to show 10 but its now set to 14 and working perfectly with the SGTFlipFlop sky uk picons.

This is my setup.

p.s this is on the ultimo, although the exact same setup works fine on the duo as i have just tested this.

Your picons should go on to a USB stick, as this would stop your hdd firing up everytime you change channel, just download the picon file with the picons in them, and ftp them to your usb stick, just make sure that the usb stick is compatable with the box first m8.....

[Larry-G]

if you want to use these ones delete the existing picons from your receiver are replace with these.

i have a sandisk cruzer blade 8gb usb stick - when i insert that in the Duo nothing happens.. do i need to mount it etc or something in the settings? What does it need to be formatted as? How do i tell the Duo then to store the epg/picons on the usb key?

format the stick to FAT32 then place the picon folder on it.
now put the stick into a rear usb port on the box and reboot it. the image knows where to look, but you will have to delete all existing picon folders from your receiver.

[micks_address]

to delete all existing folders - can i just delete via FTP browser on Dream box controller centre? Cheers, mick
