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

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....

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

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