format your stick in your pc/laptop then install your stick, mount it to media/usb and restart your box,regards mdt

thanks for the reply but the problem is i cant initialize the stick it goes to 99% them fails tried 7 so far...cheers

Once you have done what mdt says all you have to do is configure and set up epg. Forget about what you are trying to do. hth

must be a problem somewhere as everytime it gets to the end of Parsing Events it freezes....

[DOUGALMCD]

It sounds like you will have to to a fresh install of image.

the folder should be called vuplus and inside that is vusolo and inside that is cfe/jff ect. put the vuplus folder into the usb stick and shove it in the front slot with the stb switched off at the back then switch the box on and leave it alone untill you have a flashing green led on the front. i always give it 15mins to be sure. when its finished remove stick and re-boot box,regards mdt

[liam1982]

done a reflash but the problem is still the same when it gets to parsing events the box freezes...cheers

[liam1982]

any info much appreciated...

[DOUGALMCD]

When you do a reflash it should clear all files so that you are starting from fresh. So you either have a problem with the file you are trying to flash ie corrupted or there is something wrong in setting up. Your dish is fine and your cabling, internet connection is good?

Have you set these yourself as auto refresh no>save no>mhw no>

In epg set up epg location is the only one you had to change.

[liam1982]

i did not set them they were already set i will change them and try to download epg again...thanks for the help

[liam1982]

hi changed the settings to the ones you said and it is still the same mate infact the parsing events bar did not even get to the end before freezin,looks like will have to do without epg ...many thanks for all your time and help...all the best
