Put this in VU Duo 2 section, which I don't think was correct:

I have a Vu + Duo 2 which I got from WoS 3 years ago, and its worked perfectly. However this week I've started to get epg problems:
Occasionally the channel info is populated, then it just vanished on some or all channels. There's no channel info at all on any HD programmes.

I can get if back by downloading the EPG and rebooting, it works ok for bit then in vanishes. When I select a channel, the epg info appears along the bottom of the screen ok, but doesn't always appear when I go into epg itself. Also, when I download it, there's only a couple of hours of info.

Funnily enough when I select a programme, the EPG channel info comes up and populates the EPG, then a short period later it vanished again. Very weird.

I'm using crossepg.

This is a summary of system & settings:

Black hole v 2.0.8
500Gb HDD 486Gb free
Cross EPG
Open TV Astra 28.2, hip hop, refreshing automatically @ 0400 daily and saved to HDD
Csv enabled, epg force reload on boot, auto refresh disabled.

Not sure if I've done something, and I've been trying different settings for a few days & now ripping my hair out.

I've read about deleting the epg.date file via telnet, but bit scared to try that

Could anyone help please?

P's be gentle, I've never had to touch the box before so complete novice

Thank you in advance.
