Hi guys, I am new here and just finding my feet. Can you please let me know if the PICON file should be transferred from my USB stick to the digibox or does it run off the USB stick all the time ? I am using a wi-fi dongle so cant keep the memory stick in. Same question about the XML EPG as well..

its an F5S with the latest Jan 2014 Skyview firmware, thanks.

The Picon file needs to be loaded to a USB stick and left there all the time or the Picons will not display

Same answer for the XML EPG "USB/HD needs to be connected all the time" Time for Homplugs I think.
