    Help setting up my Vu for the first time.

    Is there a way of directly showing the favourites EPG as I have over 1000 channels (60%) of them unwanted in the "All" list.

    Maybe its just some tuition required on my behalf!

    You need something like dreamboxedit to load the settings onto the box. The software is here http://www.world-of-satellite.com/sh...xEdit-v4.1.0.1

    if your using VIX i would recommend you place the new satellites.xml file into etc/enigma2 then reboot the box so it can take effect, this way you retain the default satellites.xml file within etc/tuxbox as a fall back in case something goes wrong at a later date.

    look here for more details.

    Cheers Pheonix, I backed up the originals so it should be OK. So the box actually checks for a satellites.xml in the etc/enigma2 folder first?


    Quick question about picons, I noticed in dreamboxedit that the folder for them is set to /media/usb/picons/, however that folder doesn't seem to be on my box. I understand the /media/usb is actually the physical USB port? What have others done to overcome this as I cannot see the icons in the EPG.

    Ah ha, I see whats going on. I have corrected dreamboxedit to dump them in /media/hdd/picon as I understand Enigma looks here. (I installed a HDD btw).

    Sent files to the box, all looking lovely.

    The ViX image will search for the picons so long as they are in named correctly as your above example shows, you can also save them to either the hard drive or directly to the flash memory of the box although these are not recommended locations. for example if your picons are saved to the HDD the drive will physically spin up every single time you so much as change a channel, this can cause very serious lagging problems not to mention the annoyance off hearing the drive spin up all the time. The same pretty much applies to using the flash memory as the box will have to access this memory again causing some slowdown of the box.

    personally i would recommend you install a USB stick ( make sure to mount it properly first under the vix mount manager ) then place them as above and the image will do the rest.

    Yep, all working from the USB now. I formatted it as MSDOS on my Mac and mounted it to /media/USB. I take it that its fine to use FAT?
