does it not need to be an sd pack for sky though or is that just the name for it

No just go to Menu>Setup>System>User interface>Skin setup>Blue HD and then it will tell you to restart GUI to apply new skin that should be it.

Any chance getting chabs vm and sky skins added so can download direct from plugins.

Highly unlikely.

Using one now, Great skins would be great if built into openvix

The authors will need to our git as posted above.

Never did see the fascination in fake sky and virgin logos all over the place, the functionality of the vix skins is just as good.

they are for that special kind of user.

I will let chabs know as he is on most forums and most helpful

I don't like the Sky logos in the Sky Skin. I'd prefer not to use the Sky Skin. But there are a couple of killer features in the Sky Skin that are not available in OpenVix skins that I much prefer and all are in the graphical EPG screen.

• +/- 24 hours is more accessible (ch up/down is more difficult to explain to my wife)
• The boquet "tabs" on the top. It clearly shows there is more than the current boquet available (and there's a "hint" to use the <> keys to navigate between boquets)

I very very rarely use the short-cut coloured buttons (blue/red/yellow/green) in the OpenVix skins whereas I regularly use them when using the Sky Skin.

I've attached 2 screen shots for comparison.

Have spoken with chabs today sicillian and given him a link to the post and asked if he would be ok with adding his stuff on wos and i think he is fine with it but will let him do that side as its his stuff

divil_a_bit can I ask which skin or settings you use to see the bouquet tabs and +/- 24 hours, I've installed the Blue HD skin from the plugin downloads but my EPG looks like your 2nd screenshot. I'm trying to make life as easy as possible for the missus in moving away from Sly.
Thanks

i can not Beleive that people would want to make their Far Superior E2 Receiver look like a mundain cheap SKY or Virgin Box but thats the Advantage of VIX you actualy have the choice to put whatever skin that you like on it,i realy like the Magic-FHD Skin but thats my choice and not the Receiver Makers making you use their skin

If it were just me using the box then I'd happily ditch anything Sly related but after using their box for 10+ years the missus has grown quite attached to it's simplicity and isn't known for her patience when dealing with new tech

I am the same,.....tried many times to change it but "She who knows all" just likes the Sly one.

Another plus for this skin: "Add Timer" and "Add Autotimer" are replaced with "Record" and "Record Series" also.
