Hi, is the method the same for the TM800 ? If not, whats the difference ?

[Sicilian]

On TM800, just create a folder in the root of usb stick called /picon using an ftp client like filezilla. Then ftp picons to the folder, then reboot.

Not sure i've done this right. I have created a folder called picon in the root of my USB stick and placed it in the front usb port of tm800, i've downloaded a picon list. that's were i'm up too, i don't understand what folder i ftp them too.

I think i've got the right folder, media/front usb ?

Thats sounds right, yes. Create a folder in the root of the usb stick called picon, then ftp the picons into that folder. May be best to start a topic in the TM800 discussion section.

Thanks sicilian, i've done all that but still no joy. I will start a thread in tm800 section and hopefully get it sorted.

ive done it like like it says in the 1st post for well over the last 12 mths , but recently upgraded to vti 3.1 and set all my settings how i wanted em but for some reason crossepg dont like the usb stick ive had in there fro 12mts now ive upgraded , but low & behind after id taken the usb stick out of the back of the duo , went back into file system and all my picons are still stored media/usb/picon yet i have no usb stick installed
So do i need a usb and whats going on there cus i just dont understand , and it dont take any more time to change channel with or without stick installed

They'll be stored in the flash then, just using that path.

So what will it affect if i leave em in the flash opposed to using a usb stick

thanx sic

short term nothing but long term not a good idea to do lots of writes to the flash as over time it degrades, perhaps not to the level you might notice in the short term but why take the risk.

Using Picons does not involve a lot of writing: only when installing/updating them. So no worries there.
Even after flashing many hundreds of times, including the use of picons, won't wear your flash memory.
