Biohead Image - OpenATV 6.1 - with Kiddac's VSkin!
This image is designed for users who have a cable connection ONLY.
**If you have cable AND sat, I recommend DSayers image here: http://www.techkings.org/zgemma-sta...014-vix4-100-series-h2h-one-set-bouquets.html **
It should be a case of flashing the image, add your nline (newcamd.list and mg_cfg), configure autobouquetsmakers for your area and off you go. It's pretty much a working base image with no extras - additional software will have to be installed yourself. You MAY have to switch the EPG save location to your SD card/USB rather than internal flash.
Default skin is VSkin Bolt. Chose VSkin for a more VM-Tivo like look or Slyk for a standard Sky look. Change the skin as follows:

***How to Install + Setup*****
VM Cable feed should be connected to Tuner B, not Tuner A. You need a Coax-to-F connector adaptor - you can get them for about a fiver instore, or less on ebay.
Make sure your ethernet cable is hooked up to the router.
Flash as usual:
Extract the ZIP file to the root of a USB drive.
Turn your box off.
Insert USB into the REAR usb port
Turn box on - front should say FLSH
Box will then boot and show from -00- to -99-. Once this changes to the time, the box has booted. It will show loading on the TV screen as it's not setup for your area yet - see below.
Get your line on. Image uses MGcamd, so newcamd.list format required (CWS =)
FTP your newcamd.list in to /usr/keys
(If you don't know how to FTP, I suggest Filezilla and use youtube for video guides).
Change to your area:
Menu>Setup>Service Searching>AutoBouquetsMaker>Providers
Change the area number in ABM to your area (default is 00013 Reading).
Press Green, and go to "Start Scan" - it should delete the existing bouquets then get the ones for your area.
Menu>Setup>Service Searching>Tuner Config>Tuner B
Change NetID to your area
The EPG will be empty until it run's it's task overnight. You can change to channel 100 (VM Previews) and let it sit there for 5 minutes to start filling the EPG immediately.
***Additional things to do after install:***
If not already done, initialise your SD/USB
Menu>Setup>System>Storage Devices>Initialisation>Your Drive>Press Red
Once done, it's recommended to convert to Ext4 (but not required)
Double check EPG will save to your drive. Change if required.
Menu>Setup>EPG>Settings>EPG Location
Top Picks:
And again after they have automatically updated:
Things to check when you install:
Make sure swap is enabled and autostarts
Double check timeshifts + recordings are configure to SD card
EPG saves to SD card.
Most of these should be ok, but if it's the first time you're using the box the SD card likely isn't setup yet.
This is the very first time I've done this, so there might be a few issues! If you find anything, post and I don't mind trying to fix it!
I do like a clean base, but if there's any heavily requested apps I'll consider them for future releases.
Flash as usual:

20170730: Updated to OpenATV 6.1. Clean image - may have a few settings missing. Picons preinstalled but seem to be missing most of the Sky Sports ones after the reshuffle. I've left the V-TV picks scripts in the image but cron is disabled - looks like the site scraper needs a bit of work.
