just to update: I have reflashed the UNO from 0 and reinstalled everything I want manually one by one rebooting after every step
without using the personal backup and the AUDIO works on the AUDIO button and the YELLOW button and now made a new fresh backup :36_002:
I have not reinstalled the mutliquickbutton yet.

I'm not confident enough to start over from scratch... Quite happy with getting this far for now, I can connect with dreamset and read and write my channel lists. But am very reluctant to connect with any other software where lots more can be edited... Someone else installed the Cccam and associated clines on my stb. hopefully within the next week or two I'll have the know-how.

Thank you cazuela,

I hadn't been using the circular arrow keys! I had been trying to save before changing to mount/media/usb ! I'm slowly getting there though...

Thanks to all who give there time to help the newbies

If you have setup mountpoints in device manager properly it should show the option to use the USB, the path should be /media/usb/.

If mountpoints is ok then maunaully setup a swapfile using telnet. Manually Creating a Swapfile on VU+DUO/SOLO

Blackhole won't allow me to add mount points to the usb without adding mount points to the hdd at the same time, i have to do both devices at the same time. What are mount points and will adding mount points to the internal hdd wipe all the data from the internal hdd... I have lots of movies on the internal hdd which I would rather not lose.

Epg guide and cross epg up and running THANK YOU to master G and his very helpful step by step guide in vu tutorial section. I was surprised to discover that the epg information appeared to be downloaded through the internet connection and not from the satellites... I had visions of my dish motoring round it's arc everyday!
Crossepg was happy to use the 8gb pen drive plugged into one of the rear usb ports.
But when I try to set up a swap file I am only offered the option of using the internal hdd drive, any ideas as to how I can persuade the receiver to accept the usb as a path for the swap file, or is it ok to use the internal hdd. I would have thought that it would be preferable to use the usb rather that a mechanical drive. I'm open to any ideas

You've done the hardest bit... You've found this forum! I'm a complete novice to the linux receiver scene. there's a lot of info here, and it's good to be able to discuss the nitty gritty... cccam etc. discussing CS on other sites upsets the Mods.

Just wish I had come across this forum 2 weeks earlier!

I'm after some more advice please..... No surprises there!

I'm a little overwhelmed by the various epg addons that are available.... My Uno has BH 1.65 running which does appear to have a built in epg which occasionally flashes an on screen message informing me that it is updating, it only shows the present and next channel on various sats (canal+ se for example). Is there a reasonably simple epg that I can add that would give me more info?
Would it be beneficial to add any other epg to the hdd that i've installed rather than using the flash memory which seems to be quite full anyway. What is crossepg... I have tried searching, but haven't found an idiots guide
One more question: For the last ten years I have only ever scanned the various satellites manually no problem there... Now I keep coming across channel lists..... I only really use 19.2 east, 13 east, 4.8 east 0.8 east and 30 west. would there be any advantages in using any of these channel lists?

I'll ask about swap file memory bit next week... still on a steep learning curve!

I can confirm that the yellow button worked... A little bit strange that the audio button worked in 1.65 but it's been changed to the yellow button in 1.65.

press YELLOW..and it will show.. optherwise press HELP and it´ll come up
¿ are you using the multiquickbutton??? ¿ did you manage to allocate the RED ??
Although I did as you with reinstalling backup ,etc,,and checking that everything is in place via FTP/dcc ,etc ,
still get the message: no multiquick red.xl mapped.. so i manually reinstalled and still getting same message..
strange indeed ,I´m sure there is something I have overlooked, although been through it over and over again...
let us know how you get on, please..

I'm very new to Linux based machines... Just switched over from my trusty and reliable Technomate 6900 super +. I'll have a look at the yellow and help button options when I get home. You lost me regarding the red button allocation and FTP/dcc.

Thank you for your prompt response, I really appreciate any help.

I have upgraded the BH image on my Uno from 1.64 to 1.65. Then carried out the backup which successfully updated ALL previos settings.... The only issue I have is that when I press the audio button on my Vu remote control nothing happens accept for a black card appears on the screen for a few seconds. There is something mentioned in the write up for the latest BH image: "Change key code of audio button"

How do I change the audio with this new image?... I would like to be able to switch to English.
