    yes thats how mine is formatted in my Uno.

    also as this is now getting a wee bit technical i'll move the posts out of the intro thread into a more appropriate section so that they may help others as this section is really only meant for introductions.

    That is correct. If the file is not found there, it will use the system-file in etc/tuxbox.

    Most Picon-sets contain symlinks (to make the number of actual picons less); these are not supported by FAT-formatted media.

    indeed, however my picon sets do not contain symlinks and they work just fine as is, so i'm more than happy to keep it as is for the time being.

    Yes, of course. Just a point of attention for those using other picon-sets.
    And FAT also has the advantage of allowing for images to be flashed. Once a FAT-stick is in the box's backside you can leave it there, and FTP any wanted images to there (so the whole upgrade procedure can be done remotely).

    Don't need to. If you don't push the "CH+" to accept the flash, the box will boot normally (after a short pause). Having the image available that way, you are always ready for a reflash.

    I think rob meant the Uno mate as with the Uno you do need to press the CH- button on the receiver in order to kick the box into flash mode, and read the image from the usb stick.

    Ahh I see, well I have it running nicely now. Switched the EPG to close EPG with the preview - looks great.

    Only issue is that I think since doing an online Vix update my Picons are not showing. I have FTP'd in and checked that they are still there on the USB and accessible.

    Press blue button>VIX>Mount Manager and see if the USB is mounted as USB, if not remount it as USB using the green button

    Yes since rebooting it has mounted as \media\sdb1 - I need it mounted as \media\USB. Is there anyway to default it at that?
