From the e2iplayer plugin on grogs build i think he has it set for updates to. I will check with him later and if not i will ask him to update a couple of things on there. I have updated a couple of new feeds on my version which can be added. To my knowledge this is the only build which has this working version with auto updates and ongoing support 
Not sure on willo but sure he will add it soon as well.
Not sure on willo but sure he will add it soon as well.No, its not installed (only default and MetrixHD). i downloaded a different one from the plugins-skins menu just to make sure I could do it (Blue-line-OE-4ATV) and could install that one no problem although, as its all in German, I went straight back to MetrixHD.
I think you were probably aiming that response to me. I have used Whooshbuild for a few years now so I'm not sure that changing builds will help. I use an IPTV provider and I'm not sure whether that would work with Grogbuild? Maybe it would though. Is there an idiot's guide to Grogbuild?
I also still have a line so, presumably, if I change to Grogbuild I would need to re-install that?

MetrixHD is my favourite and tells me the local weather (change your town in the settings) but is only in WooshBuild not in GrogBuild. Normally WooshBuild Infinity includes SkyQ, SkyNew & WBFreeSat skins in Plugins, may have changed and will check later.
Thanks, I'll check it out. If I can't get it to work then it isn't the end of the world - I'm sure I would get used to a different interface

WB is like any pre made build as in it has all the component parts already added to the image so the user can go straight to setting things up, a self build is the same but with only the plugins/components parts you wish to add to it. What this means is you can add/remove components as you wish.... Chabs skin .ipk is one component & therefore can be installed on its own: ether place the .ipk onto a clean USB formatted into NTFS & connect it to your box or transfer the .ipk directly to your boxes HDD/USB as ether will work... once the .ipk flie is connected to the box you can navigate to it & install (reboot after installing any .ipk is required).
The method for installing can vary a little depending on the build/image you are using but in general for an ATV based build its simple: press BLUE button then in left hand panel scroll to & select PLUGINS, then on the right hand side of the panel go to install .ipk's, from here navigate to wherever you placed the .ipk file, place a tick in the box & install. REBOOT box... once rebooted go through the remotes menu to find where the skins are located & select the newly installed skin (gui requires restart). lots of words to describe what is a simple process but if I were to describe how to open a door that too would very wordy for a simple action

Hi, thanks for your input. To be honest, I usually visit these forums when I need help (i.e. when something stops working!!) so I only see Whoosh on here (as its me that is posting). There is no point me coming on here and offering help to anyone as, it is plain to see, I know nowt about these things!
I appreciate your advice but as I have never heard of Grogbuild before I wasn't sure that I should go down that route - whether it was good advice or not. Due to the fact that my knowledge and skill set is very low I am always reluctant to change something that basically works (albeit with some issues) as I am always concerned that I will screw it up and be left with nothing working. I'm sure if I was au fait with all of this as you obviously are then updating and changing things is second nature and you don't give it a thought -but for me, it is a big step
Edit: Presumably all of the support for Grogbuild is in a different forum? This forum (H2S) only shows support for Whooshbuild

at one time most people made their own images then a few members started to make a standardized image that most could use to save new members struggling, Wooshbuild - Grogbuild - Willobuild are a few popular builds that were made right here by TK members. A huge amount of time & effort has gone into both making & testing... a credit to TK's members
Hi, thanks for checking. If I could show you a screenshot of the list I have I'm sure it would help to show that they aren't there. Just to sanity check that I am doing this right - Green>Green>Skins and then scroll through?
Assuming I am doing this right then there are definitely no Sky skins at all
Yes, thanks, I understand that. It was the creation of Whooshbuild that made me decide to get a Zgemma as, before that, when I read up about it I found it was just too confusing for me. Obviously, having everything there all automatically done and just needing to follow a few simple instructions to set up has meant that I don't understand how it works so I am confused as hell when it doesn't!

Yes you are doing it right. Very strange. I will do a fresh WB install later and report back.
Yes it does, but there are only "default" and MetrixHD" listed in there

I once changed from WB to GB, but I missed my MetrixHD Skin with local Weather Icon - so I went straight back to WB!!!
Maybe simple for you! Like I said, I am very wary of screwing it all up as I have absolutely no idea how to sort it out if I do (as must be very evident form my postings today)

I was on WB for a few years, but I started having to re flash the boxes more often than ever so I switched to compare the two, this was a few years ago, I just think Grog freerange works far better for me, no more re flashing, unless I bollocks it up myself.
Other than coming around for a beer and doing it for you i cannot say anymore. Like driving around in a car with 2 dashboard lights on and ignoring them.Take the box into grogs garage for a full service and you be be driving a rolls royce
GrogBuild - Grogbuild FreeRange for all enigma2 boxes
Grog68 - The home of Grogbuild FreeRange - build for all
What beer do you drink? I'll get some in
I can do better than that if you would really like some help. I do this for lots of members and can teamviewer direct into the box and set it all up for you.
