[eattheliving]

Hi Everyone, well got my duo up and running. well chuffed with everything about this box. just a quick question... how do i upload picons pls? i am using the following bouquet:VIX Team E2 HD 28.2E & UK SD DTT [HD SWAP] [01.05.2011]

thanks

just put the picons in a folder named picon on an empty usb and plug in back. If you change the channel they should then automatically load up. I personally recommend SGTFlipFlops bouquets and picons as they are regularly updated. They can both be found on this site. Hope this helps. Reason why they should go on a usb and not on the hard disk is because if you put them on your hard drive it will be kept constantly running.

thanks for that. do you have to keep the mem stick in for them to work?

[03ahmads]

Yes if you put the picons on the usb it must be kept in for them to work. Have you managed to get them working?

is the usb stick mounted in the mount manager ?.

no mate. that could be the issue. does it matter what format the stick is ie fat32 etc?

[RuberDuck]

the format is not so much a issue but the stick must be mounted,

if using vix.

blue button > vix > mount manager.
make sure the usb stick is mounted as media/usb

[iceman214]

[mr.raw]

I managed to flash images and get all epg's working fine, but picons i have spent ages on and still cant get them to work lol.

[DOUGALMCD]

Iceman It's lcd picons that you want and they go into lcd picon directory.

You need to make a folder called picon on usb or hdd and copy picons to that folder.

[mr.raw]

Thanks for all the help here guys. I did as was suggested but if i made the folders myself and ftp in it never worked. Managed to do it all from within the BH image and it worked.
