Cant Get EPG and guide data to populate

[giotecno1977]

Hi I followed FAQ on EPG on vix etc, but when I press guide on the remote, most of the data is still blank for many channels on Astra 28 SKY UK Stuff and TURKSAT 42 Stuff.Any other things you guys can suggest?

Where are you storing the data?

Have you checked the sources have been selected?

Hi Stanman, I am storing to usb stick and have selected the sources rytec or somethin.

[rossi2000]

id advise to use opentv for 28.2e and rytec for turksat.

start with one at a time.

get 28.2e sorted from opentv. once done then add turksat from rytec.



the settings in crossepg are pretty self explanatory.

[giotecno1977]

Done exactly as you said but getting the astra ones but not the Turksat ones from rytec. Pulling my hair out... I reformatted the USB stick, deleted the EPG file, restarted the unit, but still cant get guide to show epg details.

if someone can point me in the direction of fully removing all traces of EPG.dat from flash and where ever so I can start fresh.

[giotecno1977]

I even Telneted in and did init 4 remove all traces of EPG.dat and init 3 but still no epg from Rytec, Astra one workes fine every time. Is there a manual way of adding the sources or a different epg program I can use? Thx Guys.

Try EPGDB sources.

[giotecno1977]

EPGDB is that different sources from within CrossEPG?

Yes, when you go into Crossepg, select update EPGDB providers, then select Rytec sources through EPGDB. You will find them more stable and faster.

Sicilian, did as you said and still many blank it only showed eog data for 2 channels. I am wandering if rytec could be the issue?
