    Re: Activating Channel problem?

    You need to install a epg plugin ie: rytec or cross epg then download the epg which needs to be saved onto a usb stick or hard drive internal or external no idea which or if both work with a vu duo someone with one will pop in and help you on this hopefully
    on the second you need to leave them 3 in there
    if you press favourites usually blue you should get a list of bouquets like movies, sport, entertainment, etc thats if you have uploaded a channel list which has been sorted into categories.

    On the channel press the audio button on the remote and choose a different audio stream.

    Re: Activating Channel problem?

    Do you have a hdd or memory stick in it and has it been mounted so you have somewhere to store the epg?
    If you have installed cross epg you need to do something like this
    for dreambox but it should be something similar

    Press menu then setup
    * Now goto the bottom to crossEPG
    * Pull down to upgrade rytec providers
    * Now goto Config at top
    * Change the storage device to your HDD just push it to right to change path
    * Schedule time to say 04:00 am then press red for back
    * Now goto XMLTV Providers
    * Push right to skip down to bottom and press green on Rytec UK XML TV then red for back
    * Now go in to Open TV Providers, enable the Sky Uk Open Tv 28.2 then red for back
    * Now skip down to download now and let it down load, takes about 10 to 15 min
    Once thats done, press the bouquet button the remote and press the option at bottom for multi epg for a better view

    Re: Activating Channel problem?

    Did you mount the usb via the menu option and did you also tell the epg to download to the usb?

    Pull the plug the worse that can happen if it don't reboot is that you will need to flash it again
    you also have to tell the epg to download to the usb and a 2gb stick is ample.

    Re: Activating Channel problem?

    In epg setting i have epg location=/media/usb/ which i thought was correct. Also does the usb need to be in once picons are loaded as there still on the usb drive??

    I also have no storage device config in the section that ureyesonly posted for crossepg...

    Re: Activating Channel problem?

    that is the correct location and the usb has to be plugged in all the time.
    did you actually mount the usb stick in device manager?
