Noobie Help!

Hi Guys,

I am trying to set my SOLO2 up bought from the sponsor, I am a little confused:

Can I get the channels listed into categories?
I cannot seem to get the HD channels working ITV2 SD is fine ITV2 HD black screen and no sound?
Can anybody recommend any plugins which maybe useful... What available?

Thanks, Chris

Try setting up ABM, this will create a exact sky uk bouquet to match your region as for ITV2,3,4 HD channels these are FTV meaning that they are free but you need a valid card to clear them.

Hi Chris

Firstly you need to set your signature so we can see what your set-up is and which version of vix you are running.
Then I would recommend you read all the stickies which always helps

In answer to your questions:

1. In my experience if you want to play with channel lists the best thing is to install DBox edit on your pc. From there you download from E2 settings your preferred list and organise it as you wish before sending it back to your vu.
2. All HD channels should work depending on your subscription ;). However the latest versions of vix have an Auto Resolution feature in AV settings. You may wish to disable this and set to 720p, as it can cause some problems.
3. On Demand & TS Media (although this too is being worked on for compatability to the latest ver of VIx.

Good luck
Tom

Favourites (TV) - Blank EPG
Last Scanned - Muddled up

Any ideas please
