Installing picons on a hdd is not advised. Install to a usb.

Picons on hdd will constantly spin your hdd and delay in showing picons.

Put usb in the back and will be fine J.A.D. [emoji106]🏼
Change to another image without deleting blue hd? What you mean? Move away from ViX image you mean or different skin?

I have picons installed on the hard drive on both my solo2 and my duo2 and have never had any problems or slow downs, if you have time shift active it's fine to have picons on HDD because the drive is constantly spinning.

Thanks mate this start when i installed blue hd yesterday and an other issue has come to light
when i press the OK button on the remote the information bar come up and in the right hand corner
is a green circle with a little arrow flashing i am think i have read on this forum that means there
are updates any way it seems that the picons issue is a matter of choice ANY ideas on the green light.

Thanks again J.A.D
