    Few simple questions about solo

    Hi all,
    Ive just got a vu+ solo but im a complete newbie and i need help with a few things. Ive flashed the box with blackhole 1.6 and installed ccam which is all working fine. But im stuck now with these questions:
    1) How do i mount a share on my NAS use as my hdd to use PVR functions.
    2) The EPG is terrible! it only shows a now and next (and doesnt even show this unless you have already watched that channel! Could someone explain how to use a better EPG with a 7 day listing?
    3) What is swap space and do i need it?
    Cheers guys and sorry for all the questions!

    1) go into menu/setup/system/network/network browser. find your NAS and mount is and select use as HDD replacement
    2) what image are you using as I am on vix 2.2 for my solo and the epg is fantastic using CrossEPG and OpenTV as the provider.
    3) Swap space is extra memory. If you use a lot of plugins or have a lof of epg providers then you might want to enable Swap File. if not then you dont need it

    Cheers for the quick reply.

    Just mounted the HDD, thats great. Im on blackhole 1.6. I wanted to use VIX but when i installed the latest version it just repeated crashed and i got a green screen all the time. Black hole has been 100% stable so far. I can see a cross epg downloader on blackhole but it wont let me select it. It says must be configured before downloading. Any ideas? Just the EPG to get sorted out now and im finally all set!

    Edit: Ive got a spare usb pen 512mb, so should i put this in the back and leave it there as swap space? Can this be done?

    im not sure about blackhole as i havent used it in ages and i use vix. but i guess you will have to configure crossepg first through the settings and then try downloading it. and yeh you can create a usb swap file but will need to make sure the usb is also mounted correctly

    Ive got it all sorted, but i dont like it! The EPG that comes with vix looks alot better. Ive decided im going to re-flash with the vix image. When i had vix on last time i had all sorts of problems though, the main being that when i used DBE and ftp'd the channel list they wouldnt appear. Yet they worked fine on blackhole. Do you have any idea why this is ?

    Loads of guys here use dreambox edit to transfer channel lists over and works perfect. Jus make sure you chose enigma 2 in the settings and it should work no problem at all. Give it a try n let us knw hw u get on

    i use DBE with VIX 2.2 and the Vu+Uno and it works fine. but make sure you select reload settings on dreambox once the bouquet has been transferred to the box, or restart box manually.

    Just flashed to 2.2. DBE has updated my channel list just fine and ive got ccam up and running so i thought everything was looking good. However every time i try to mount my nas i get the green crash screen. When it reboots and i go back into network, half the options are missing. I dont have any browser or mount options. Any ideas guys?

    Its a known issue and Andy was working on a fix, check to see if any uodates are online.
    Also delete AUTOMOUNT.xml if it has been created before rebooting

    Hmm i guess i can live without a PVR for a while. You mention an online update, i cant find the option for this, could you explain how to check please?

    Everything else is working great now, and i much prefer the vix image to blackhole. Just a shame i cant use the PVR because i cant mount the NAS, but hopefully this will be sorted soon.

    Go to menu/setup/software mamagement/software update then try the network mount again. Also you nee to mount the usb via the device manager which is at menu/setup/vix/device manager and mount the usb to media/usb

    The software update fixed it, everything is working now just as i want it. Cheers for all your input guys

    Ive just got one last question, and this is probably the most stupid of all, but i cant find it - what button brings up the list of recordings you have made on your HDD in order to play back frpm the PVR?
