Os mega set up guide

**Ian l** · 09-03-17, 23:12

Hi all.
Bought the os mega and wondering is there any set up guides on here ? Getting rid of s.. and setting up this weekend. New to this and don't want to mess box up.got openvix installed.and a internal hard drive. Is it a case of follow set up wizzard?
and would like to have an epg on it but bit unsure where and how I get that from ?
Thanks
Ian

I've got OS MEGA with VIX and Kodi works flawlessly on it.
Search the forum and you will see instructions of putty command you need to run, to enable kodi work

There is a guide on VIX website though it's a bit dated,
Connect your sat cables to the box and follow the on-screen guide.
Do not do any channel scan until you finish, then use ABM to scan.
CrossEPG is good for your daily EPG update

If it's a UK sky dish you are using you want to set up tuner config as simple. 28.2e and disceq off. Do the same for both tuners.

Once done that then Autobouquets maker to get your channel list. Pick sky UK and enter your region I use custom Scotland west. Pick swap channels as yes and start scan.

Then you need to set up cross EPG. You need to save it to your Hard drive or preferably a USB stick.

Select opentv provider and press ok on sky UK so you get a tick on it.

Then you can download the epg

Thanks this all helps. Openvix was put on when bought.
Got an 8gb flash drive to. I believe that is for the epg ? And should I put that in before I set up ?
And also live north Wales near Chester so which region is best ??

Yes but you have to mount the USB stick. Press blue button then vix then go to mounts.
Press setup up mounts and on your USB stick push the right arrow till it changes to /USB

Then when you go to the Cross EPG setup you can select USB as your location for storing the EPG

..... it's got an internal hdd, so the epg can be stored there.

**Ian l** · 10-03-17, 10:34

OK thanks. So is it best using usb or hard drive for epg ?

**garryboy** · 10-03-17, 11:25

I use my USB stick. Then Box doesn't have to spin up hard drive to read the data. I find it quicker.

EPG is stored in memory, and written to epg.dat (once a day, I think, but you can change it) and read back in when the box is rebooted.

So it shouldn't be any quicker.
