    The single best EPG for the E2 platform is within the ViX image, and you dont have to install thirdparty plugins like with some other images, combine this with the ABM plugin to automate your sky uk bouquets creation / updating and your set for in my opinion one of the best sky like experiences on any third party receiver.

    Agreed, that's my set up and going from a skybox to a Vix receiver the only difference is the color and not having different sections along the top

    Hey Guys

    I just bought a VU+ Solo2 and it came with blackhole but I really wanted this EPG instead. Are there any guides how I can install this at all?
