Hi satcat.
Yes I have mounted the usb when I installed the picons.
But I have done a fresh install and installed the picon folder into the default location on the VTI image. (/user/share/enigma2/picon).
Without using my usb pendrive.
Still no luck M8.

Hi yet again M8.
I have installed the picons from the download link you gave me.
I have installed them into "usr/share/enigma2/picon. I have left the vti setting for picon as it were as well (usr/share/enigma2/picon).
They are still not showing up. Is there something that I have to do to activate the picons.
Also; I have my receiver operating on an 3d panasonic viera with the resolution set at 1080i 50hz. Is this ok.
Thank you once again.

Hi there mkkee 25.
Thanks for your reply.
Can you tell me if I should leave the entry for the picons (in the vti setup) as /usr/share/enigma2/picon. Or should I change
this to media/usb. As I will be using an usb stick at the back of my receiver.
Many thanks.

I forgot to mention.
I need picon help for the Astra satellite 28.2 degrees east.
Thanks.

Hi there everybody.
I have the latest VTi-Team Image Release. v6.0.0 (Version : 2013-07-03- vti-master).
I have been trying all week to download and install picons for this version onto my VU+duo.
Can anyone tell me why the picons will not show when I download them from the VTI setup. In the settings it states that they are downloaded
to /user/share/enigma2/picon. On this site many say that they should be installed on the root of a pendrive in a folder called "picon".
I have tried this and also installed into the "user/share/enigma2/picon". With no luck at all.
Can anyone tell me the correct way and which version of picons will work with my VU+DUO and the version of vti that I have installed.
Also; I believe that there is an picon updater that can be installed. But I do not know how or where to install this as well.
If anyone can help me then I would be very grateful for any assistance. I do not wish to change from vti to another image for the time being as
it is a very good system for me to try out being my first receiver.
Thanks folks.

Hi there mckee25.
Please can you tell me what picons are and what they are used for. And if I need to download any. Also where I put them.
I have a VU+DUO with the latest VTI image. I am new to satellite receivers; But I have managed to do most things to get my new set working.
Thanks to a bit of help from people on this forum; And trawling the internet for answers. I have still a lot to learn.
Many thanks for your time.

Hi guys.
Pulling my hair out here.
Thanks to all of you who have replied to me.
I still do not have a clue how to install channel bouquets onto my Vu+duo. I have the latest VTI image installed. And I have managed to install my cline.
I have 2 computers. one has linux installed. I used filezilla on this computer to install my cline. The other computer has W7 installed.
I need to know and understand what software I need and how to install this software. I am a very practical person. But I struggle when it comes to theory.
I suffer from Fibromyalgia. Which makes me very anxious.
Please if anyone of you have time to tell me (step by step) how to install a bouquet of channels then I would be very grateful. I understand that I have already had replies
to my questions. But I am not understanding. All I want to do is to either change channel with my remote with the channels I have chosen. Or enter a channel number to access a channel.
Thanks all.
Stuart.

Thanks for your reply.
What I mean to ask for is some way of programming the Vu+duo with fav channel list. In order for me not to have to scroll through all of the channel list to pick a channel to view?
Hope this makes better sense to you. There are about 969 channels on Astra 28.2 d east. I would like to put them in order of preference?
Many thanks.
Stuart.

Hi there again.
Can you please tell me how I insert (programme) one of these bouquets into my system.
Many thanks.
Stuart.

Thank you. I will try one of them.

Hi there.
Can anyone help me with my new Vu+duo.
I have installed the latest VTI image; All is working well except for the channels all over the place.
The receiver is set on Astra 28.2 degrees east.
I need to sort out all of the channels. Is there any software to do this. And where would I install this software.
I have Filezilla installed onto my Linux operating system and can ftp my receiver with this. ( I used this to install cline).
Please if you can help. Step by step instructions. I believe I have to install something called "bouquet.
Thanks All.
