Welcome to Slyk 1 HD

You can download all the latest versions of my skins and other goodies via my dropbox folders.

Compatibility:

This skin will work on the majority of OE Aliiance builds (OpenATV, OpenVix, ItaltSat etc. Not OpenPli) and the majority of modern enigma2 boxes (ZGemmas, XTrends, VUs, Mut@nts, dreambox 800se, Edisions etc.)

Installing the skin:

Download the IPK file in my skin folder. If for some reason it downloads a zip file. Extract the zip so you just have the IPK file.

FTP the IPK file over to your temp folder. var/volatile/tmp.

(if you do not know how to ftp over to your box, please read my barebones install guide. There is a section in there that covers this)

• memory/tmp
• Press ok on the package

Once it has installed you need to set it as your skin.

Reboot your box if you are not prompted to.
