Duo2 - Help with setup please - UK

[a5ian300zx]

Hi All,

I am new to the world of Linux boxes

I have Sky HD which I am looking to cancel as we only watch the free to air channels. Now I want to setup my Duo2 which has been flashed with VIX apollo 55 image at the moment but i would like the have it setup like the below but need your help or to point me in the right direction.

1.) I want to setup cross EPG like the sky guide with little preview window with autoupdate
2.) I want to view only the channels that actually work instead of a whole list of channels of unwanted or channels that don't work like some of the sky ones.
3.) BBC Iplayer and ITV player - if possible (i know alot of users have this via XBMC but is there any other way)
4.) can i setup the timeshift without any prompts

Basically for now I just want FTA Channels i can receive using the fixed sky dish.

The user interface needs to be Wife Friendly :)

I have used autobouqet but still don't get an EPG do I need to download that separately.

Any help is much appreciated

Thanks

You can install the OnDemand player from the image feeds, this contains the ITV player but no longer has the Iplayer due to changes made by the BBC to prevent thirdparty applications using their feeds.

What if I installed a Backup image which is UK ready? would you recommend this approach or just do it myself.

Thanks

??? BBC iplayer will only work on the e2 with the xbmc workaround, how long that will continue is anybody's guess, do you not have iplayer built into your tv?

I have updated the image to the latest build.

The permanent timeshift on all channels or just the channel your watching?

Also I can't seem to find it anywhere, could someone point me to the right direction.

Thanks

Hi.
Permanent time shift (PTS), only works on the channel you are watching.
To set up PTS, navigate to setup, system, timeshift settings.
