NOTICE:
I recommend making a full image backup of your current image before installing this custom EPG mod plugin.
This should work on most enigma2 boxes running recent OpenVix image.
This plugin makes a backup of key original EPG files before installation and providing there were no errors, these key original EPG files are restored upon removal of this plugin.
PRE-REQUISITE (These are IMPORTANT):
- Recent OpenVix image (currently 4.1/4.0/3.3)
- If required, Blue-HD skin installed and setup before installing this plugin; and/or
- If required, Red-HD skin installed and setup before installing this plugin.
HOW IT WILL LOOK:
Below are some screenshots of how the setup should look depending on whether Blue-HD or Red-HD skin has been installed from within the image plugin feeds:-
(screenshot is of Blue-HD only)

HOW TO INSTALL:
- Please make a full backup of your current image first.
- Using FTP (eg FileZilla), ftp this file over to "/tmp" on your box.
- Using telnet, type "opkg install /tmp/*.ipk" or use install local plugin option within image
- Restart your box.
DISCLAIMER:
As this plugin makes slight modifications to some EPG files, menu options and skins, it's therefore possible that this plugin can cause your system to crash or worse-case cause a boot-loop due to new changes OpenVix/OE-A alliance team may make after this plugin has been released.
Although it's rare that these EPG files may be changed, it's still possible. I will update beginning of this thread with current image I've tested upto. Therefore, if using on a newer version that I haven't tested then please be cautious and ensure you have backed-up your image first.
Thanks to the various people involved especially Matt & DarkDreamingDan. I would like to thank anyone else involved.
