I've downloaded the pre-installed picons but can't get them to display.
Can someone please help me with picon recommendations and how to install them if they are not part of the pre-installion?
Thanks

You need to ftp the picon folder over to the root of your USB/Flash/HD. Personally I store them on USB to save spinning up the drive and because I have a load of USB storage vs limited flash space. USB needs to be ext file system from memory.
How do I access the root?
Sorry, I'm a complete novice

If you FTP into the ET8500 and then in the root create a folder called picon then put them in there, and job is a good'un they are installed into FLash.

Have you downloaded them from the plugins menu on the box?

graphical infobar epg settings.
change service title mode to picon and service name.
then graphical epg settings.
change service title mode to picon and service name.


Then channel selection settings.
show picons In service list. Change to yes.

depending on the skin you may also need to enable them to display on infobar

I don't think you need to on vix night hd. What picons have you tried? Also are you using abm or abe2?

Which picons did you install. Go to plugins and press the red button and look what picons are there.

Ziggo is a Dutch provider, so you are unlikely to have those channels.



Install ocram picons feeds.
Will be under "feeds"

Then install SNP picons. try blue on dark.
Will be in "picons"

All I can see under feeds is "pitons.xyz.
Installed plugins all start with "tv-east" or "tv-west".
