Can't get autobiuquermaker to work

[Code2006]

Hi I'm new here and I'm having problems setting up abm
I bought a vu+ solo 2 with vix from wos
Set it all up
Downloaded the vix beginners guide
On the guide is says use a usb stick but I have installed a hdd
Followed the guide and nothing comes up in the epg


I have selected sky sad for my area and freesat HD

If I use autobouguets e2 i get channels and they work in epg but I don't like the setup
I want it more like sky

Thanks

How did you setup your tuners ?.

[Code2006]

Tuner a
Simple
Single
28.2e eutelsat 28a & Astra 2am/2e/2f

Same as tuner b
Thanks

[Larry-G]

Simple
Single
28.2 east

That's correct both are set up like that

[Larry-G]

How exactly do you have ABM and CrossEPG setup ?, It may be best to upload a few screen shots rather than typing all the info in here.

[Code2006]

I have set it up how the guide said
I will try and upload some pics later

[Larry-G]

Which guide exactly ?. as there are several and may contain info that is out of date.

This one

yes thats a "old" guide now and needs a little bit of a update to bring it upto current standards, both ABM and CrossEPG have undergone quite a few updates since then, although the setup for both is still pretty much identical.

I have no idea why the pictures are like that sorry
I have looked at the new guide
I get channels but no epg

What happens when you press "guide" on your remote? The settings look ok, by the way - even craning my neck to see them!

[abu baniaz]

Just for info, you can take screen shot by enetering the following in your web browser. Replace the X to make your IP addres. Just refresh whenever you want to take a new shot and then save it. Obviously use different names

I'm sorry about your neck
My remote doesn't say guide so not sure we're that button is
If I press epg it's empty
If I press tv which is in the bottom left hand corner channels come up but how do I get this up?

I assume you have pressed the blue button, then option 1 (CrossEPG Downloader) and pressed ok to generate EPG?

[Joe_90]

Even without CrossEPG, the now and next programmes should be populated when you press the EPG/Guide button. I don't use CrossEPG at all, just the Freesat etc. settings in the EPG setup and I get a full 7 day EPG for Freesat and now/next for SKY channels. The CrossEPG screenshot in post #13 above shows a DB size of over 9MB with over 600 channels. It's as if the EPG display has been disabled somewhere in the multiepg settings?

[Code2006]

That's worked now thanks
But how do I get my box to look like that pic I uploaded?
Thanks

Less neck aggro for us oldies:)

I took the pics on my ipad and they r the correct way even when I selected the pic it was correct but something happened when the pics got uploaded lol

[Code2006]

It's blue hd

Thanks for that I will give that a go tomorrow morning
I have one other question
I have only selected sky sd but I want one channel from sky Ireland
Is that possible to add that one channel ?

[DaMacFunkin]

You can't add it to an automatically created bouquet because it will disappear again, you can add it to favourites or a custom bouquet. As for scanning the channel, you can scan for it manually or do a bouquet scan for sky Ireland, copy the channel you want then disable sky Ireland and scan again.
