Amiko Alien 2 running hyperion 4.5.... missing channels.... help!

I have an Amiko Alien 2 box. I have installed E2 image of Hyperion 4.5 via a USB stick. & it appears to be working fine. i.e. I have downloaded the channel list via auto bouquets and all the channels are there in the list. However I can only watch the free to air ones as of now BBC1, BBC2, ITV Etc.
I really need to know what I have to do to set up my box so I can watch the rest of the channels i.e. sports and movies. I am new to this game, a novice you would say hence I am here trying to find more info. I am pretty sure I need to set up oscam, but again this is new to me. Please please please help me!

Here are some questions I ask myself a lot lately, if you have the answers to any of them drop us a post would you -

*I have a virgin media connection connected via ethernet to my box. Do I need to set up the amiko or my super hub so that they talk to each other? Normally ethernet is plug and go, but I would like confirmation of this...

*Do I need to open ports on my connection to allow a better connection with the STB?

*which are the best servers to use for a stable connection and best viewing of sprts channels? (I Like football)

* I would also really like to find the Sky HD mood skin shown in the link

Does anyone out there know where to find it? Do I need membership to download etc?

If you help me you will have good karma for ages!!! :bravo: Cheers for reading.

I've tested my internet connection. Everything is working fine there.

Thanks for the heads up on the servers.

Do you suggest a different image for me, instead of hyperion? I've been trying to download a skin allnight. It seems to download, but then I can't find the skin I have downloaded in plug ins afterwards.

this is the exact version I am running. but I cannot find the sly skin as of yet. Any suggestions?
