Right, What is the Box's IP Address and Subnet Mask ?

What is your PC / Laptop IP Address and Mask ?

The gateway does not matter at this stage if you just connect the PC straight to the Box. Just make sure that you do NOT set both IP's the same !!! If you connect everything to your router (wired or wirelessly), if you use static IP's, make sure you don't use IP's in use already by something else.

I think you're correct. There is No Hyperion for the ST7102 based boxes from what I can see.

For whatever version of CoolTVGuide you have, go into Plugins > CoolTVGuide > Press MENU and then one of the Colour buttons will bring you into a list where you can assign Functions to Keys. So you could assign Zap + Exit to BOTH the Red Short and Long push keys.

Thankfully, OpenATV has it's own Graphical EPG and so CoolTVGuide is no longer needed in it.

Sorry out and about.
Are you familiar with filezilla?
If so, use it to get in to your box.
You should be able to see all files on your box ( you will see "/root" initially I think, and if you click on it, you will see all the file folders such as, etc, usr, var , hdd folders)

With the zip file, you downloaded, unzip to somewhere you can find on your PC. In it, there is a folder called "usr"

Now , in filezilla, on the PC side, navigate to where you have the unzipped file. Get to the "usr" folder.

So, at this point you should have a list of all file folders including one called "usr" and on the box side, and be down to the "usr" folder of the unzipped file on the pc side
Now drag the usr folder of the pc side over to the root of the box side. Dont worry, this won't delete everything on the box side.(All you want to do is copy the contains of the usr file over. You can always expand the folder on the PC side and drop its contains into the corresponding folder on the box side, which is what I prefer to do)

Sorry if this seems complicated. It isn't really. Don't be afraid of it. (Having said that, its always a good idea to take a back up , just in case)

Filezilla is software
install it on your pc and put in the IP of your box where it says host
Enter username and password for the image your using

When I've plugged everything in the box, on adapter settings page I have 192.168.1.1 under primary DNS. Nothing in secondary.
I haven't got as far as trying to hook up my PC to box as I can't connect the box.
Before I go onto adapter settings on 'network' page the 'link' box at the bottom is empty & has no green tick as my own had before connection (if this helps)
Thanks for your reply!!

Just tried it again at home and connects straight away!
Although the ip at home is coming up as 192.168.1.1
This is the same 'primary ip' that was showing at my uncles place,
Net mask is 255.255.255.0

Reboot the box. You should now have cool TV guide installed.
Check in the main menu- plugins and see if there is a cool TV guide plugin there (maybe there as set up)

Using your filezilla (or if you have an android phone/tablet, you can use es explorer, which is very handy) look into the following path:

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/

In there , you will see file folders for your plugins. See if there is one for cooltvguide. And if so, look at the date/time it was created (should have been today)

If there isn't one there, then it hasn't been installed to the correct location
