Your question has already been asked here
Help installing coolman tv guide on Vu+solo
If you do not have an ftp programme use dcc attached below. Once installed you may be interested in this as it brings up the cool epg guide on a single press of red button. Very wife friendly lol.Multiquick button modified for D.E blackhole images
Any problems along the way just ask.

Thank you very much for the file m8, is it the startmenu.ipk file that I ftp to /tmp .Do install the cooltvV4 that’s in black hole plugins first before I install the startmenu.ipk ,and can I safely take my usb out of the box now without loosing any of my settings. I hope what I have said makes sense, I hope so .

Install all the ipk files you have been given, doesnt matter which order. If the epg is set to update to your usb drive, then removing it will wipe your settings. You can save your epg to internal memory, but its best to keep that free for other plugins you may want to use. Best just plug the usb drive into the back of the receiver and forget about it. Setup a swapfile and put some picons on it.

Thank you again for your reply, do I now install all the Black Hole Picons Packages that are on the box. The only ipk file I can see is in startmenu is that the only one there is in dcc296.zip folder, and how do I Setup a swapfile please.And what picons would you put in it, and then do you ftp them to /tmp .

Try using the searchbox or looking through the tutorials section.
Manually Creating a Swapfile on VU+DUO/SOLO
How to install Picons on VTI, DreamElite or BlackHole images

dcc296 is an ftp tool for windows you don`t install it on the Vu+, double click on dcc.exe within that folder.
Dont download picons from the addons panel, they are outdated use them from our site HERE.
As long as the picons are in a folder called picon then they will automatically show, put them on your usb drive.
For swapfile, Blue > Blue > swapfile settings > Create/Green > select the usb > 265 mega > Activate > Autostart
If you have any problems setting up picons or swapfile then make sure you have setup mountpoints and mapped the drive to /media/usb/ in device manager.

Thank you masterG, which picons would you sir- jest for the latest BH image please.
-
I`ve used nephilim and sgtflipflop picons before, they are very nice. Try them all, everyone has differant taste so what i like you may not.
-
Thank you once again masterG,I hope you dont mind me asking you for your help and advice.
-
No problem arcadia, thats what we are here for buddy..
-
Hi masterG ,I have downloaded them now .How do I put them on my usb-drive please.
-
Use an FTP program like DCC-E2 v1.30, send to folder /media/usb/.
-
Thank you so much masterG, and at a guess I don’t have to unrar them at all.
-
Download the file from the site it will be in rar format.
When you extract the file it should extract to a folder called picon.
If it does not, then you need to create a folder called picon and extract the files to this folder.
I`ve no idea what file you tried to download and whether it has more rar files inside of it.
