    Have you done a fresh scan ?, in all channels there should be a working channel 4 HD, see if you can find that, if you do , then select it then press menu on the remote, gives you the option to move it to your required bouquet.

    Create a Picons folder on your Hard D m8, not the root folder of the Vu Duo, your hard drive you have installed.

    Create a folder on your VU+ Duo's hard drive, call it Picons, the file you have just downloaded containing the picons, copy contents to the Picons folder on your hard drive in the Vu+ Duo.

    I thought the folder had to be called picon? Without the s?

    At least, that's what my folder is called.

    yes the folder is called picon. just place the picon folder containing the picons onto the root of a USB stick or the flash of the receiver i would not recommend using picons from a HDD as the disc must spin up every single time a channel is changed adding several seconds onto the zap time in most cases.

    hi guys,

    i have a picons folder on the duo (see attached screenshot) not sure why i cant see them on the epg.. maybe someone might upload a screenshot of what they look like in the epg?

    Also I want to change the behaviour of the buttons on the remote and im not sure if its possible. When i press up/down on the centre button it brings me to the single epg - what id like to happen here is for the channel banner to scroll (the same way sky does)

    is there any way to do that with my current image etc?

    Cheers,
    Mick

    picons for me never work if i just transfer them to the flash, the image just doesnt recognise them. in order for the image to recognise them in flash i have to download a set of picons from plugins feeds and set them to be placed in flash, then replace the ones in flash with the ones i want and then they work fine

    Are you talking about the multi channel EPG, if so when in it press MENU and than "enable PIG" and than items per page to 5 or and save.
