thats helped steve cheers , now how do i get the channel logo aswell as the name on the epg ?

On an official receiver they call the categories and channel lists "epg". On linux receivers, we call them channel lists, bouquets.
On Linux receivers, epg is the program guide. i.e what is going to be on.
The logos are called picons. Easiest way is to download them from feeds. Menu> Plugins > Green for download plugins > picons. Choose anyone that takes your fancy. Solos 2 has enough memory to put on internal flash, this is also fastest place. They will show automatically in the EPG and info bar.
To show picons on your service lists,
Menu > Setup > System > Channel Selection Settings > Show Picons in service list > Change this to yes. -
Brilliant cheers

Don't mean to hijack the thread but I have tm twin where is best place to save picons internal flash? Internal HDD?
I also have USB memory stick plugged in for epg but can't see option to save on there.

You only get option to save to USB flash drive from feeds if it is in ext format.
In order of speed
Internal flash. (Most recent receivers have plenty)
USB flash drive
HDD (Disk will spin up on channel change unless it is already spinning)P.S You can save epg to HDD. It s not read constantly. Live epg data is stored in RAM.
