lost EPG

[fast65]

Hi ,
decided last night to switch off power to all appliances instead of leaving on standby. However on switching back on all epg data is lost and I am getting DVB Service and n/a where prog should be. I have tried reloading epg but it is still not working. I have a VU Solo 2 running Vix image with Frankensky skin. Any ideas and help appreciated.

Did you go to deep standby before shutting down? If it's turned off by the rocker switch you don't give e2 a chance to save epg data from live memory. A rerun of ABM might clear the n/a's.

What happens when you try to download the data again?

These receivers are computers in their own rite and as such you must power them off properly to avoid causing damage.

always place the receiver into deep sleep before removing the power.

Update on this. Put machine into deep standby and switched power off, but when I switched back on this morning got same result. Most channels showing DVB service and n/a. Have downloaded epg again and run ABM but still got channels without prog data. Seems to be a lot of trouble to save a bit of electric. Could there be a setting I need to alter or something.

you could use the power timers feature.

for example you set the box to go into deepsleep at 23:00 every night and wake at 06:00 every morning. The box will still wake for any preset recordings then go back into deepsleep. you can also schedule both ABM and CrossEPG to run at say ten 06:20 and 06:30, essentially automating the whole process.

thanks phoenix i'll have a play with that

Delete The epg.dat From Your Hard Drive And The crossepg Folder... Then Run The EPG Downloader... That Gets The EPG Back For Me...

[fast65]

pac 2000 thanks buddy will do that

[Larry-G]

Remember though to delete the EPG.dat file you must first place enigma into sleep mode using the init 4 command with a telnet session, otherwise the EPG in the live memory can just override the changes you make.

I have decided to leave well alone and not bother switching off. Caused too many problems. thanks for all your help

If you don't know, you probably don't need it.

No idea why highjacking a thread and saying 'sorry' could possibly seem a good way to ask a question :confused:
