Hi Guyz

Menu > Plugins > Green (download plugins) >

Scroll down to drivers and press OK

Scroll down to "dvb usb turbo", press OK
 
yes, managed to work that out
set up ATM
added mgcamd 1.38 than ftp mg_cfg file
added my sly line
can I add two lines in the newcamd.list?
cable & sly?
 
Your issue now is "how do I use two lines with mgcamd?"

Put that in your search engine.
 
simples, when you know how.
Now if you look at the picture at top, the image is set too big, I can't read letters to the left & cant see options at the bottom of the page, anyway I can reset this? to fit my screen?
 
Issue:
My picture does not fit on the screen properly.

Answer 1:
Disable overscan on TV.

Answer 2:
If you cannot disable overscan, adjust the GUI size. You were shown this after installing image anyway.
Menu > Setup > System > User Interface > Position Setup
 
sorted, I noticed the picons are already showing is that because they was on my usb stick which is still in the box?
Where shall I save my EPG media/hdd or media/usb?
I've set it usb at the moment?
 
Do i need to install the epg refresh plugin or not required?

Regarding picons attached is how they look currently. From the plugins which file do i need to download for the latest ones? 20170528_004258.jpg20170528_004145.jpg
 
Snapman/Rat/Napster picons have never been on plugin server of any image.

Download latest picon pack and transfer to the existing location on your USB stick
[DOWNLOAD] Rat's DW Picons 28.2E Updated

Alternatively
If there is a standalone rat/snapman/Napster picon updater, install it and run it. It will update them for you.


Re: EPG refresh. You dont have to. It depends on what you want to do.

If you are going to use CrossEPG for both Signal and internet acquisition. You will encounter issues.
If you are going to use XMLTV/EPG importer alone, no point adding anything else.
If you are going to use XMLTV/EPG importer as well as Cross for same services, you will encounter issues.
If you are going to use CrossEPG for signal acquisition only, and obtain 5 days Cable EPG from signal stream for cable, then EPG refresh will be beneficial.
 
Can you just advise where i install rats picon updater ipk file?
 
Are you asking how to install or where to install?

It will be installed as per programming. You don't need to worry about it.

Installing method is transfer to /tmp directory.
Blue > Vix > Install local extension.

Rats Picon updater will find the picon directory in use and update the picons.
 
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped, especially Abu, always goes the extra mile. I frustrate him sometimes with the many questions all at once but appreciate the perseverance.
I'm doing a lil adjustments with moving channels etc. but all in all i'm fully set up now,
Keep the dream alive ;-)

Just looking at this post again i dont think i have really understood how to have my EPG set so it is benefical for both sat and virmin. See below pictures of how it currently looks, i dont think it is right as cross EPG only set.20170529_142855.jpg20170529_142830.jpg20170529_143759.jpg
 
Post a screenshot of CrossEPG providers start order.



It seems you have not set it up properly for satellite.



I would also suggest you forget using CrossEPG to "get/obtain/acquire" Virgin EPG.
