Thanks for the reply MasterG its appreciated, I did try running the Commando image (althought it seems I was using ver 14.7) and setting the boquet, but I didn't manage to get the required result :( Perhaps I did something wrong or someone could kindly tell me what I would need to do to change Annie(s)

I reverted to MerwenSat and one of my old uploads of the boquets I made using the dreamboxuk or linuxboxuk as I believe they are callled now, but it seems the childrens channels aren't working, and given that Commando auto updates I would prefer to use commando on it.
Its been ages since I did a dm500 or anything based with this hobby if I am honest.
Rant over p.s Hope is well for you et al the other regulars round these parts :)
