I definitely do now - when I say that, I was able to play any media on it, and it was coming up as a device in the configuration part of crossepg, and when I pressed the blue button to "UMount" it asked me if I wanted to unmount the drive. Maybe it wasn't mounted correctly, as there are a few usb things (like usb, usb1 and usb2). Anyway, when I went to the device info screen, it wasn't showing up there, but eventually I got it to show up there too (I'm new to these Linux boxes, but I'm getting there!).
So with the USB stick definitely mounted, and trying to download the epg onto it, it looked like it was doing it, I could see the access light on the stick blinking, but I still have only now and next for the UK FTA channels.
There is a SES Astra bouquet (German channels) that was preprogrammed in the favourites, and it's showing several days, and the RTENL channels are showing a populated EPG too, but they've always been populated, even before I switched to this newer image; might have something to do with that they're all on the same TP.
Any suggestions?
Another thing I was wondering is the loading of plugins, can they be put onto a memory stick, and loaded that way, or do I need to connect the box to the PC to do that?
