I'm losing my sanity trying to figure out whats going wrong:mad:. What are the correct settings for cross epg & what config/format should the usb stick have, I'm using the Zardos Hyperion 4 image he posted last year. I did notice that last week that the audio some of my channels changed to the narration setting which I fixed.

So if you use my image, go into Menu > Setup > Software Management and update it. There may well be up to 150 files to be updated, but it will be worth it

I bought it for the 7day epg and the cool guide which I have installed and is working to a certain level on enigma2. My problem is that the Picons are not showing on the epg and also I want to get the channel preview box where it shows the thumbnail video screen in the top left hand corner on the epg when viewing it. I think this might be a HDMU skin or something like that? I also really want to keeps things as simple as possible on the box and have the irish channels listed first on the epg and then all other uk channels thereafter. Still haven't been able to set up favourites but i found some info on needing to download dreambox edit to my pc to do this? Also, how do i set up my wireless adapter to connect to my home router from within the enigma2 setup? Anybody got any advice for a novice? Thanks in advance!
superg wrote: » This might be long winded so bear with me! I like to have my "all channels " bouquet starting with channel 101 for the first one, 251 for the next one, 301 , 351 etc. In order to do this I need something in numbers 1-100 and numbers 280-300 and so on. Autobouquets puts data channels with no name in these positions. So I arrange everything the way I want them and upload to the box which is all fine. However if I pull the channels back from the box all the data channels disappear and I'm left with just the TV channels starting from number 1 and carrying on in sequence. What this means is if I need to make changes to a bouquet I have to re do everything from scratch ( run autobouquets to get the no name data channels back and then re order everything). Naturally this is a pain in the hole so I put named data channels in places 1-100 instead. This means they don't disappear when I save my file in dreambox edit or when I pull the channels back from the box. The problem is these data channels show up in the on screen epg whereas the no name ones didn't. This is why I wanted the epg to start from the entertainment bouquet rather than the all channels bouquet as I don't have the data channels in the individual bouquets, only in the main "all channels" bouquet. It's only a minor complaint but it's a complaint nonetheless

superg wrote: » Yeah its a good piece of kit. Amiko is in the bedroom now. Being able to put the harddrive inside is great and its alot faster for things like the epg opening which was a big bugbear of mine with the Amiko. As for setting up, just plug it in . I had to do a lot less arsing around with this then I did the Alien but maybe thats because I know where most things are now having learned enigma 2's intricacies with the Alien. The image is very stable, only one plugin causing me issues but its not one I use so no biggy.
