Virgin IE - EPG Source

[cdrf]

Hi Guys
Done some reading on this before posting and i can't seem to find an answer
Basically, using OpenVix 4.1 on a Vu+ Duo2 with a cable tuner - looking to get the EPG data for more than 24 hours
I looked at the EPGImporter but it only lists Virgin UK as a provider
Whenever I power on my pvr it seems to just download the EPG for that day itself, I don't have to do anything
I've seen people mention setting up a timer to do this each day, but it would be great to get EPG data for a few days in advance

I'm guessing it's not possible as Virgin IE isn't listed as one of the sources

Thanks

You should have a channel listed in 'all channels' called pvr_epg, tune to that for say 5 minutes a day or set the epg refresh plug in to do it for you.
(I'm presuming VM Ireland uses the pvr_epg channel here.)

Thanks for the reply, was looking at similar just creating a power timer to turn on the box but it will still only just grab the EPG for that day
I'm looking to get a day or two in advance so I can record something.

I don't know why you're only getting 24 hours I have a duo 2 also and just set a timer to record 5 mins every day and it populates the whole week must be something specific to virgin ireland

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but I'm not seeing a channel called pvr_epg? I set mine to VM previews but don't think this has been working correctly?

OK found it and set it, hopefully will now work for me. Thanks for the heads up

went through my listings on et 10000 no pvr here either.

it should be the customer information channel for people in RoI

You can and should be able to use VM previews as well, i prefer pvr_epg as it is not encrypted and as such doesn't hammer the card.

Thanks for all the replies
Set a recording for 10mins on the customer channel but still only getting epg data till midnight.

I'm not in one of those "pure" areas you mentioned before. IE my line uses a legacy netid, wonder is that why

Doglover who looks after the Rytec EPG has merged the UK and RoI DVB-C EPG data. If you can provide him the missing/wrong channel names and service references, he will sort it out for you.
