Blackhole epg issues?

IF You force a download does that make any difference?

**satplustv** · 11-02-12, 18:31

NO it makes no difference at all

I am starting to think that i have wasted my money with the VU as the main reason i bought it was for the ability to have a 7 day EPG and Record and at the moment i have very limited use of either of these features because in order to plan recordings ahead you need the EPG data

Just tried an external hard drive to rule out a fault on the internal one and the result is the same so it must be something to do with the image or settings ?

Try deleting the epg.dat file off the harddrive and then kick off the download again. Also, make sure there isn't an epg.dat file in internal flash and on the harddisk.

Delete both if there are and kick off a download.

Tried that no joy i am afraid !

Time to reflash, not sure what is going on with your setup!

**satplustv** · 11-02-12, 20:44

Any suggestions about which image to try ?

I do not want to have to start from scratch again so would like a back up image that can read my Sly card (all channels Pick etc) and also gives a 7 day EPG !

When i first bought my Uno i got loads of support & help on here, thanks to those members that helped you know who you are, but now a few months on its like pulling teeth and getting support or even a pointer to a previous thread that solves the issue seems hard work or is it just me ?

Thanks to the few that have tried to help with my current unresolved EPG issue but surely the more experienced users must be able to help ?

I would have thought that a 7 day EPG was a no brainer and anyone watching Astra 28 channels on their Uno would want it !

Come on guys restore my faith please in the WOS forum as it was a great resource when i needed it before.

Problem is sometimes the epg file gets corrupt and u can normally sort it by deleting crossepg folder and epg.dat file on ur hdd or usb stick. Then redownload. Ive had my uno on vix workin a treat, maybe once my epg got corrupt n i could only get now n next or sometimes nothing n i just did those steps and got it sorted

**satplustv** · 12-02-12, 20:21

I have tried that and even re initialising my HD / using an extrnal HD and it stays the same so i am at a loss ?

**panda23** · 12-02-12, 20:29

I am using the latest VIX image on my UNO and fingers crossed no EPG issues so far, it may be worth you reflashing your STB to VIX?

Have u tried storing epg on usb stick?

Yes and a USB extrenal 80gb HD as well but still get the same result now and next or nothing on some channels

Im not sure whats happened as i said my uno works perfect. But i do a regular reflash so maybe thats why i havent noticed any problems. But something has obviously gone corrupt and i cant see any other way of getting it fixed other than doing a new flash of the latest image. Unless anyone else has any better ideas
