how to activate Picsons

[soulmate]

Well I was too slow. I'll leave the orginal posting however:

Sorry, I actually thought my instructions were step-by-step.
Get those picons if you have 28,2°.
Otherwise have a look at the general picons section and get the ones you need.

I would rather not use the picons on your hdd, unless you don't have a usb device.

ahh found out the problem they are showing up on the sly bouquet channels but as these channels are greyed for me i cant use them.

I am only able to view on "All" and in there the picons are not shown/

[soulmate]

why are those channels greyed out? Have you checked your dish setup? Or don't you have that satellite position?

[Kyoto]

my tuners are both set to Astra 28,2 but i cant view the access the sly bouquets. very annoying

[soulmate]

are the tuners enabled? Found the receiver sometimes drops them after a restart.

[Kyoto]

they are because i would be able to watch tv using All channels. Its just the sly bouquet thats greyed out, so i am unable to press 101 and access bbc1 etc

[soulmate]

so in order to fully understand: is it normal that you can't tune on the sky channels in your area. I know that e.g. in South Western Germany you won't be able to tune on the bbc channels- you simply won't get them. If you are in the UK you should be able to at least get them. Of course as they are encrypted and you don't have a card, you will not be able to wtach them. Is that what you mean?

[Kyoto]

no this is not what i mean. I am abe to view all the channels on the astra 28,2 satellite.
But when i add sly bouquets channel list it is greyed out and i cant access the sky uk channel numbers.

So i can only watch by scrolling through all the channels.

[soulmate]

have you considered editing your bouquets with e.g. DreamboxEdit?

[Kyoto]

i have already dumped bouquet using dreambox edit and i get same problem. Even though all the files are shown int he relavent directories

[soulmate]

well then I must say I can't really help you even though I wish I could. I simply don't know and I actually don't get the complete picture of what causes your problem. There are no channels greyed out i my list. If they are, I update my settings either via DBE with new bouquet settings or do a rescan of the transponder/satellite position...

thanks for your help

Sorry if I am repeating something already covered as this thread is 3 pages long.

I have had channels greyed out when loading new bouquets and a rescan as always sorted the problem out, it has happende donly on HD channels though.

thanks for your help

Have you got permanent time shift on?
