Should there be an attachment for this thread? I guess changing your host may have lost it

hi i tryed this guide and when i get to the part add hip hop on 28.2e the only hip hop tv i can find is on 13.0e any ideas thanks

[jaylar]

ok found it under my radio folder now am having problems getting it in the box lol when i press it it does not appear in the box and when i choose it to lisen to it will not go to that channel its like its not on or somthink

[jaylar]

ok got it working using this method could have just been me but this way worked firt time

1) This seems to be important!
Make sure you're in Radio Mode, tuned to 'Hip Hop'
The service for Hip Hop for me reads as the following data, but of note, I don't receive any audio:
Provider: bskyb
Video PID:none
Audio PID:0d2eh (3374d)
PCR PID:0d2eh (3374d)
PMT PID:0132h (306d)
Transport Stream ID: 07d4h
Original Network ID: 0002h
Service ID: 0fd1h
Namespace: 11a0000h

Satellite: 28.2 Sats
Freq: 11777v
FEC:2/3, Symbol Rate 27499.


So Once you're happy you've got the channel set:-
Yellow/WeekEPG.
From the EPG listing, press exit, then Setup.
Settings as follows:-
10 TStart Offs 10 TEnd Offs
0 , Local Time Offset Unticked
Font Size 20/18
Show Current Channel Ticked.
Use Offline Data Ticked.
Offline EPG Storage Path
/hdd/weekepg
Then press RED to choose the channel, and select Hip Hop.
Set Language to UK if necessary.
I would then press Save (blue)
Then back into setup
Finally Green to run the Log, and Yes to Confirm.
It takes about 30 seconds to grab the titles, then perhaps a further minute to grab the Summary Info.

As previously stated, you should get 50,000+ titles. If you've only got 3000 is, and no summaries, somethings not working.

All,

I cant find a radio channel called hip hop on astra 28.2.

There are about 20 unknown service channels. Might it be one of these.

I did a manual scan on Satellite: 28.2 Sats, Freq: 11777v, FEC:2/3, Symbol Rate 27500.
But nothing was found...

Anyone have any ideas.

Hip hop radio channel is long gone mate

[dfdream]

So is this EPG gone with it.

It seemed to download via that channel...

[bazilden]

try the "epg background audio" instead of hip-hop, making sure you switch to radio 1st, then follow as per tut

Baz,

I had found that in google and it worked.
Cant understand why the EPG for the tm500 is not integrated into the channels list and on the EPG button like other enigma1 receivers. (I have a DM 7020).
Or am I doing something wrong.
The EPG in the format implemented in weeklyEPG is a poor option compared to any EPG Ive seen.

Is there any other EPG that imports into the channels list and on the EPG button like youd expect to see.

As per Lraizer's guidance, changed the following line from in "weekepg.cfg" located in /var/tuxbox/plugins/

EPGService=1:0:1:1038:7d4:2:11a0000:0:0:0:

Coupled with his E1 autobouquets, which generates the "dbepg_map.uk" and "channels.uk" files, I could comfortably get 7days epg using the weekepg plugin. (TM500s has no storage device)
