    Blackhole epg issues?

    OK the reason i have been changing my image a few times recently is to try and resolve my issues with the EPG not working very well.....

    When i 1st flashed a BH image i had the full BH 7 day Sly EPG and Cross Epg also worked well but now what ever i seem to try i only get now and next on most channels and 3 or 4 up coming programs on the others ?

    I cannot understand it, i have all the correct Open TV providers selected and updated and have a 500gb HD installed but cannot seem to resolve this issue !

    Is there a plug in that i am missing that fixes this issue or is it something else ?

    Thanks in anticipation

    Help please !

    I cannot use the record properly or anything linked to the EPG at the moment and its very frustrating !

    There must be others that have had issues and found a way to fix them surely ?

    Have you it configured in settings to download each night? (Menu-->Setup-->System-->EPG-->CrossEPG)

    Configure menu to specify download time and select XMLTV or OpenTV to specify your source..

    Is there a green tick beside the satellite that you want on the OpenTV providers?

    Very strange, not sure what is wrong..

    What is the location for epg.dat in the Settings menu under EPG?

    Whatever it is make sure the location exists visible! It is best practice to have EPG and picons on a USB stick so it would then be /media/usb/ .
