hello, am going to install either crossepg or ryvix on my vu+ solo mainly for sly uk.
does the epg need to be downloaded onto a hard drive or usb stick,
or do i just download it to the receiver.
thanks.

ok,found this post by pheonix.
ok start from a fresh .rar archive of the bouquets.

open dreamboxedit and navigate to the settings page by pressing OPTIONS from the top menu bar. now click the ADVANCED tab and make sure the option allow duplicate entries in (user) bouquets is ticked. once thats done restart DBE and load the bouquets as you normally would.

i have opened dreamboxedit,followed the post to the end but have never loaded bouquets before,
could somebody tell me the correct procedure please.

There is a step by step guide on using dbedit here:

EPG = Electronic Program Guide
Bouquet = channel list

These are 2 separate things - dbedit will not load EPG data for you. It loads satellite and channel details (bouquets) to your receiver.

Click on cofigure to configure your setup. Then choose providers, either xmltv, opentv or the others, but only choose one of the types. For instance open tv or xmltv.
