    Picons - how to install and display

    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

    How do I access the root?
    Sorry, I'm a complete novice

    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

    Picons - how to install and display

    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".
