sorry Ferret ive misunderstood you yes cable is fine using freshepg
im using crossepg for sat its 0.81 and that's what got the tick in for rytec now I tried to do a manual download last night and it ended up having to turn the box off as it was stuck on one bit for about 45 minutes with a blue circle in the top corner just going round and round
now I had a try of backing the image up to day so I could have a play when I went to save to usb it said no usb present witch is odd as the cable epg saves to it so I manage to save it to my nass drive somewere I think will have a look for it today and I might try another usb stick in the back for crossepg
