    Hi there everyone.
    Can someone show me how to make picons.
    I have been downloading some picons from:baffle: Lyngsat by right clicking on a picon and saving it to my desktop.
    I have then changed the size of each picon to 60x100 pixels. Then I have changed the file to a png file.
    Lastly; I have renamed the picons according to the reference number of the station.
    Sadly; My picons do not appear. I think I am not doing everything right. I am using the software from my
    Linux operating system. (called Krita) to make these changes.
    Can anyone help.
    Many thanks.:confuse:

    Hi there folks.
    Can anyone tell me if I can use a wireless keyboard on the latest
    VTI 6.0.0. And if so how do I get it to work. I inserted the ir usb at the front
    but nothing happend.


    Also: I have downloaded an ipk file for on demand. But it will not install. Is
    there a different ipk for each image. Or is this ipk that I downloaded not compatible
    with the latest VTI image.


    And also; Is it possible to access the internet on my box. Like google etc.


    Many thanks to you all. Still lots to learn. But I have come a long way in the past
    3 weeks with the help from this forum.:feel_good:

    Hello there folks.
    Can anyone tell me if I create a swap file using the 4gig usb stick where I keep my picons.
    Will I be able to transfer some of my folders over to the swap file in order to make more
    room for software.
    I am using latest VTI 6.0.0 on my VU+duo. If this is possible can you tell me what
    files can be transfered without knakering my system.
    Thanks.:sun:

    I have gone back to the latest VTI image. v6.0.0
    The one problem with this image with me is that when I install tv channels I am getting the wrong
    service reference number with each channel. I have tried to ask for support for this problem but have had no replies.
    This image is very good and I would like to keep using it. But in order to install picons I have to change every channels
    service reference number in the picons. Part of the number on all of the channels for Astra 28.2 east is 11C000_0_0
    but the letter C is wrong. It should be the letter A.
    This does not happen on other images. I have tried most of them. It also does not happen if I install Blackhole then meoboot then
    VTI. All is ok then. But I would prefare to install just VTI with the correct service reference numbers.
    Have you got any idea why this is happening to me. I have tried both tuners in my VU+duo.
    I hope you can help me sort this problem out.
    Also; Is it possible to add swap file. I have a 4gig usb stick.
    Thank you kindly M8.

    Hi master G
    I have tried all of the cccam files today.
    None of them will install. Message comes back on all of them that files not found. Cannot install.
    I have installed into temp. And then used my remote to install. No luck.
    Thank you.

    Hi there master G
    I have managed to get my cccam to work with the cam already installed in blackhole.
    But it freezes a lot more (every 5 seconds). Must be where I got my line from. Server must be over subscribed.
    Do you know how to activate picons in blackhole. I have downloaded them in the picons downloades section.
    But they are not appearing. I have sets of picons that I have got from various sites. So if you cannot help me
    with activating the blackhole ones then I will filezilla my lot into the system.
    Many thanks for your time.

    Hi folks.
    I am trying out the Blackhole backup image. Looks good.
    Can anyone please tell me which version of cccam to install.
    I have tried to install the same version that I use on VTI but
    the server comes back as not found.
    I can find the cccam files here on the site. I have tried a couple
    but they will not install.
    Also will I be able to still use the same confiuration file that I
    found on here to insert my lines in.
    Many thanks.::trbtjrjq:

    Hi everyone.


    Can someone help me sort out a problem I have with the latest VTI 6.0.0 image.
    When I have downloaded the channels for Astra 28.2 east; All of the channels have
    the wrong service reference number.


    If you can see; This is the reference number for ITV HD :- 1:0:19:2F62:7F4:2:11A0000:0:0:0


    But when I download channels vith VTI the number is 1:0:19:2F62:7F4:2:11C0000:0:0:0


    As you can see the letter A has now become the letter C. This is the same for ALL channels.


    If I install the latest Blackhole image and then use Meoboot to further install VTI as well;
    Then the service reference numbers are correct on the VTI image and I am able to download and install picons.
    Can anyone explain to me why I cannot install VTI with the correct service reference numbers? Without having
    to first install another image like Blackhole, then meoboot and then VTI image?
    I have installed the VTI image and then had to change all of the letter A's to the letter C in all of my picons.
    But this is only good if I do not want to update my picons. But I would like to install Rat's picon and channel updater.
    Many thanks. And I hope someone will be able to help me.:hmmmm:

    Hi there M8.
    Please could you help me with Rat's picon install?
    I know how to ftp with filezilla; But I have not got a clue on the putty software.
    Is there another software to send the command to my box?
    I am using both linux and windows 7 operating systems.
    If you could give me the name of the software to use for windows 7 and how to use it.
    Many thanks.

    Many thanks for your reply mrgmx.
    When I downloaded several packs of picons; All of them had the right coding for them except for 1 on each picon.
    Please let me give you an example. (All picons for 28.2 Astra).


    Example:- Take the channel Dave on S*Y 28.2 degrees east. The service reference number for this channel is:- 1_0_1_1DC4_7DF_2_11C0000_0_0
    But on all of the picon sets I have downloaded; The service reference number differs for this channel:- 1_0_1_1DC4_7DF_2_11A0000_0_0


    Can you explain to me why I have had to change the letter A to a letter C
    Many thanks for your help M8.

    Hi there folks.
    Can anyone tell me how I may be able to re-size my picons.
    Now I have got them to load and work in the latest VTI image; There is
    a WIDTH gap at both sides of each picon. I would like to fill this gap up if possible.
    Also; As I have stated in a previous post (No answers yet)? Why do I have to change each of
    my picons service reference numbers to get them to load?
    Many thanks to everyone. I still have lots to learn. But I have time on my hands. Due to being disabled and at home.:trbtjrjq:

    Hi there everyone who has tried to help me install picons to my system.
    I have found out the problem and solved it.
    On all of the sets of picons that I have downloaded; The service reference number has to be changed on all of them.
    I will give you an example of what I mean.
    Take the channel Dave on S*Y 28.2 degrees east. The service reference number for this channel is:- 1_0_1_1DC4_7DF_2_11C0000_0_0
    But on all of the picon sets I have downloaded; The service reference number differs for this channel:- 1_0_1_1DC4_7DF_2_11A0000_0_0
    Notice that I have had to make just 1 change in the picon service reference number.
    Can anyone comment on why the service reference number on each picon is different to to the actual channel reference number?
    I cannot understand why the the service reference numbers have to be changed. But I am glad that I have things working now.
    I have a lot of work to do in order to have my picons display. But who cares. Everything is good (For the time being).
    Many Many Many thanks to all of you who have helped me.
    Next problem I have is installing TS Panel. Will let you all know if I need help.
