Do you know if it turns the channel over itself when recording

I can confirm that it certainly does.

I must be stupid, I have 2 x F3S boxes and if I go to System set up as detailed on the skybox download site I don't have an EPG and time setting option in System setup and also in the multimedia section I don't have a picon view.
The upgrades sound great but I just can't get them
:-(

Did you use the PICON editor and auto update the picons?

Actually know I haven't use the picon editor, I thought because they where not there I'd have to add them to the xml but thanks for the tip.

Well used the picon edioter and autodated dump xml fie, builded the new ics file and put it back onto USB drive, put it box and switched it back on from standby and the missing picons are still missing.

Here is one I created and using now. Just extract and place in root of your usb drive.

Not sure if all picons are there but for the channels I watch they're there.

Thsnks bbb_uk but i'n not going to bother, not only are there picons missing but some channels are using the same picon for every channel and well as some being displayed as HD channels when there not. Also there are no regional pcons as far as I can see. So it looks like a lot of editing is required.

You can export the icon for those channels that are +1 and edit the graphic in other software. I know it's a lot of hassle and that's why i'm happy with the default.

I've downloaded a list of picons of the forum, have resize the ones I need to 132x99 at 256 in ms paint but when I try to change the bmp in picon editor it says bmp error, please check bmp palette, or something like that.

This is the first time I've tried firmware upgrade . When loading from USB do I keep DBS & setting ? And it says warning it will take it to factory setting . . Ju
