    EPG refresh problems?

    Hello,
    don't know what I am doing wrong but there is epg missing every day from some channels on Virgjn cable.
    I have the plug in to refresh everyday at 4am for 240s but there always channels missing.
    Strange it's if I manually navigate to the PVR channel , everything populated quickly.

    Any ideas about setting or what am undoing wrong ?

    How do you use rytec? I go to crossepg and select the Rytec Virgin UK/Ireland XMLTV but doesn't finish because it freezes after a few minutes.

    I have set to download Portugal and that one works

    Just reboot your receiver and try again, it should load.
    It takes a bit longer compared to sky UK open tv

    Another mystery for me, I press download, after 5 minutes shows a loading sign and eventually the box restarts

    Delete all EPG and try again.
    Menu>setup>system>EPG>load-save-delete.
    Delete EPG,
    Reboot receiver and try again.
    Just done on mine and it worked

    I have both selected and at the moment stopped the EPG refresh, waiting to see if it populates tomorrow. Also deleted all epg as suggested but every time I press download now, same happens. Does have epg now but don't know if from epg refresh or cross epg worked

    If you set the timer to zap to the channel, then the TV stays on ?

    No I have my box in standby for it running and it goes back to standby after about 4 mins. I have a standby power tuner setup in case though. :-)

    If you are in UK, you only need UK EPG, except if you are using a motorised dish and have Portuguese channels.

    I don't think that CrossEPG can pull virgin EPG, so it has to be EPG refresh

    There are two aspects of CrossEPG downloader:
    "Signal wire" method
    nternet download.

    The signal wire method only works for Sky UK 28.2E,Sky Italy 13.0E and Austech 156E
    The internet download method allows you to obtain what you select in the providers. Rytec does have Virgin Ireland and UK.

    Problems arise when people enable two sources for the one provider.

    However, EPG Importer plugin may be better for some people who use Rytec's data.

    Zap to PVR isn't an option anymore as it turns on AV receiver, tv and box (I have CEC on).
    But EPG refresh still has problems, I would love to know why Some days only a few missing, today most of them were missing at start up, after a few minutes there only a few missing. Very strange.
