    If others can be incorporated in to it, then that would be great... Would be nice to see it released as a stand-alone plugin

    rossi has now incorporated the CST cyrus / vhannibal and MR. mister bouquets into his plugin, although at the moment it's a built in feature of the DBUK image but i'll have a word see if he might consider doing a plugin for VIX.

    But does that just download the latest version of those bouquets? As my problem is that I have certain bouquets that I like to edit. I like getting rid of certain bouquets all together, adding a few new ones. Everytime a new bouquet set is released, it's a nightmare updating it, so I often take a little while getting latest channels etc uploaded...

    So, what I need is something like what this plugin sounds like it would do ... take my bouquets as they are, and when a channel changes it's details, it will automatically update the one in my bouquet with the correct settings...

    the bouquet packs such as vhannibal etc will just be a overwrite with the newest packs, the sky uk sets however will link directly into the b16mcc frontend server and update the bouquet on the box with all new changes etc. iv'e not used it as i dont use the image but from all accounts it's a very nice easy to use feature.

    Hi folks,

    I was actually thinking about this problem last night so did a search this morning and came across this thread. Has this ever been developed? It sounded like a brilliant idea..

    I kow somebody posted earlier in the thread that sly have spent millons developing this solution but how is it actually achieved when the sly box doesn't even have to be connected to the internet to keep the channels up-to-date??

    I suppose, it is the million pound question and the person with the answer would be rich...

    Cheers,
    mcquaim

    Yeah, but they must have some way of taking a new xml or equivalent and update on the fly without needing a restart. I assume that this data is in no way accessible to any non-sky receiver?

    it's coded directly into the firmware of the sky box, all they need do is send the instructions to the box via the satellite feed and the firmware does the rest.
