Cheers mobileman, once downloaded to PC is there a way to FTP to box via filezilla rather than via USB?
Cheers mate will try this soon
Ive downloaded the bouquet list picons from above and put them in their own folder within media/hdd. Is there anything else I need to do to get it to activate as nothing seems to be happening on the box although it shows as having been Ftp'd? Cheers

mobileman you got any idea how to get the picons working on the box? Ive tried putting them in a picon folder on the root of the box and also tried the media/hdd way but cant find a way of getting them active, is there something I need to activate for it to work?

ok put your picons in the following location below , the folder should be called 'Picon' not 'picons'
/media/usb/
then if you wanting them swtiched on for the epg do the following
epg, select a boquet such as all channels, then you epg will come up, then press menu,
you will then get grapicalepg settings page
scroll down to service title mode
change from 'service name' to 'picon' or my fav on the duo2 is 'picon and service name'
then green button for ok and reboot box
if you want to turn them on for the display its a bit longer easy enough though but its done from lcd4linux plugin, I just followed the openvix team guide

Did that but all it seems to have done is squashed the channel list but no picons added. The 'picon' folder is all lowercase, is that correct?
How do I point it to a location? I thought I had set up cross epg to update once a day then I selected Open TV and downloaded their EPG. Is there something else I needed to do? Box was rebooted after I changed the setting to picon. Im also using the hdd to store the info rather than a USB

menu, system,epg, settings then make sure your epg is poiting at in your case /media/hdd
ok that then down to crossepg down to opentv and tick sky uk and save
then go download now let it run and once done reboot box
i take it your swap files and mounts are setup also as locations will be useless until they are

Setup your storage do the following
Menu, Setup,System, Storage devices, Initialisation
Select your drive, then Red to initialise
Exit all
mount setup
menu, setup, vix, mount manager, select drive, blue button to mount
Swap file setup
Menu, Setup, Vix, Swapfile manager
Blue to create 256mb. Wait
Yellow to autostart
Green to start
Red to close.
Hold power button on remote for 3 secs and select Restart (never GUI)
Got to the 'create swap file' bit but its not letting me create one giving me the message "Sorry, no physical devices that support SWAP attached. Cant create swapfile on network or fat32 systems"
Cancel that I rebooted it then tried again and its managed to create the swapfile. I tak eit I now go back and try to read the picons now?
