View Full Version : OpenTV EPG
I must of missed something about this new 28.2 EPG method.
Can someone point me to the instructions for setting up ?
Why is this now favoured over CrossEPG ?

CrossEPG has some bugs that doesn't affect people using only 28.2 users. If you want to use CrossEPG, please install it. It will be in the system plugins
All four methods of obtaining EPG will work, choose the one you want/prefer.

EPG refresh is just a channel zapper.
With regards to just 28.2, I assume the only advantage of CrossEPG (using OpenTV as source) is that it's quicker than the few minutes it can take using EPGRrefresh ?
So they both ultimately use the same source?
iPEPG data using EPG Refresh give more detailed event info.
I can't see "EPG refresh" in plugin extensions.

Ifyou are running ViX release 5.3.001 it should there
I was looking for it to install, I didn't realise it was already installed.

Which image are you using? Include as much detail as possible please.
Are you using a satellites.xml file different to the stock one
image is vix 5.2.045 (release) and not sure about the xml file but would doubt it as its a fairly standard setup.
Thanks

The EPG reader is not in your image. It was introduced in 5.3 Vix images.
With regards to XML file, you can install XMLupdate, it is under system plugins. You can then download newest XML file which will have that frequency.

EPG refresh is just a channel zapper.
So for 28.2 users, would you recommend using CrossEPG or is it better to switch to the new OpenTV with EPG Refresh plugin method?
I've been using CrossEPG for a few years now and it's worked fine for the most part, so not keen on changing unecessarily.

If you have had no problems with CrossEPG, continue using it.

Ok thanks Abu. Was curious whether I was missing out on any benefits from using OpenTV/EPG Refresh over CrossEPG.
