Had a quick play with this, seems stable so far

One small issue, when you enable the vfd picons, the channel names are wider than the picon shown, so stick out the sides.

I have edited the file, skin_display_picon.xml to fix this.

Has anyone had a chance to test recording to a HDD (using multiple tuners simultaneously). There were lots of bugs in the 2.3 image which is why I had to remove it.

Would love to go back to using Vix if these issues are now fixed.

Many thanks

For me, this vfd picons don't work with the vixbmc skin. Same goes for Sandman's skin_display_picon file.

Any reason for this folks?

Try renaming the skin_display_picon.xml files to skin_user.xml and put it in /etc/enigma2 and see if it works like that.

Ive been using this image since yesterday and it looks great. But, I noticed the TV picture goes off the bottom of the screen.

Is there a way to adjust this?
