Hi Frank
menu>plugins>download plugins(green button) >extensions - then install IPTV player. It will give you access to latest films, tv series etc. Yiffy/cartoon HD/movie4k/moviesHD/movienight/filmotopia generally work quite well you just need to have a play.

I shall do that later when I get home. Have you any other suggestions? I would not mind having it look like sky but I am not sure how that is done.

Now that you have a basic working setup, it is a good idea to take a full image backup (Blue Button>Vix>Image Manager>New Backup) and save that to a USB stick. That way, if you screw things up, you will easily be able to reflash your box back to YOUR known working settings.

Not quite - menu>system>user interface>skin setup>then choose the skin you have downloaded.

Don't choose Sky :rolleyes:. Confluence or YouVix Blue are much better, especially if you add MK picons

Download both and see which one you prefer - easy to swop between them. When done use the search facility for 'picons' there are many threads explaining how to use them.
