  • Many thanks cazuela, I have read the post that there is a bug in the latest image so I'll go one lower and try it out. One big question if I do upgrade do I have to reconfig all sats and channels again? I am getting quicker at it now, with all the practice I've had. A smaller question where do I load ts panel or a link on the forum to guide me? I have searched, but obviously put into the search engine the question.

  • Right thats 7 sats, 5W, 0.8W, 13E, 16E, 19.2E, 23.5E and 28E scanned and 'hd' is not too bad. Just gotta sort favourites out now. I b***** swore when a little voice said, "OO! I don't like that, it reminds of a Samsung TV we saw a few years ago". I personally liked it and from where I sit you can hardly see the frame, neat touch I thought. Well there you go???

  • Are you talking about setting the screen in user interface ? remember to press green or next time you reboot it will be back to the way it was lol, I still cant understand why you need to scan and set favorites when you can use catseyes settings , ?? youll know best you have been at it long enough :10lol: sorry couldnt resist that one

  • I know, :loleng: us English are a bit slow, lol, but Iv'e been waiting for the sat engineer to come back and just tweek the dish. All it needed was a a small amout of skew on the lnb, now it is back like it was about 14yrs ago on it's first install. What I mean about favourites is the way I want them, ie: BBC East, BBC 2, Anglia ITV, Cnannel 4, Channel 5 etc: etc: Dont want 'Marysia' my wife to get too confused, lol. Setup virtually the same as the TV is setup. Thanks again stevejo for your halp so far, and the rest of the forum for pointing me the right direction. This is some 'BOX' what can't I don't know yet??? I was reading, from a printout about 'dvbsnoop', can't find that anywhere in any folders in vu+. Do I really need it?? now to configure 'My Favourites List' and to suss out C***** and the like??
    btw; How is the new dish project coming along?
