    Is It Hard Wired??? All My PC's Take About 20 Minutes... And One Is On WiFi (But Has A Brilliant Signal(2 Metres Away))

    Your Spec Has Nothing To Do With It... My Single Core 2.1Ghz Wifi Laptop With 2Gb Takes The Same Time As My Quad 3.4Ghz 8Gb 120Gb SSD Server With Gigabit Network Card Directly Connected To A Gigabit Switch... The Latters Startup However Is Blisteringly Fast... No XBMC Frodo Splash Screen, And The Local Load Is About 1.5 Seconds Including Channel And Recording Update...

    However The Laptop Can Handle SD Live TV/Recordings Perfectly... I've A Bit More Testing To Do To Determine What Specs Will Provide Perfect HD... When I've Done That I'll Post Back...After That I'll Be Testing An Android Quad Core Mini PC/Media Centre With 2Gb To See If That Can Handle The Live HD Hard Wired... And Again I'll Post Back The Results...

    Hi
    After having problems getting into site to download proggy i finally did it and following your instructions i managed to get it working, just one problem i found is i have a multi satellite setup so when reading from the stb my channel list it went for east to west, when the list appeared after loading the list is numerical so i had to scroll through 7000 channel to find the 28east channels what really is needed if reading data from stb is the satellite xml file so your able to select the bird from which you wish to view channel, can this be done or is the program limited.

    If You Left Click TV Channels (Far Left Sliding Menu) It Rotates Through The Bouquet's... If You Right Click The Space To The Right Of TV Channels, And Select Group Management, You Can Directly Go To A Bouquet, But You Have To Hover Over TV Channels Again...

    FYI.

    For anyone using a device other than a PC (Pi, tablet etc) you are better off to create a separate bouquet with the channels you need on it and configure VU plugin to only download that bouquet.
    Works a lot better.
    Have a PI in daughters play room with raspbmc and about 40 channels in a bouquet (SD works better) and takes about 90 secs to download epg on boot up.
    Have another upstairs with another bouquet mapped so at least it boots faster than loading all bouquets.
    On core i7 PC I let them all load and it flies through them.

    hi mate, i done all the steps but when it loads the EPG and channel list it takes forever to load. i only have access to 28 but it loads all the other satellites i have in the box. how do you stop it doing that so i only loads 28

    Just out of interest, why do you have other Sats stored on the box if you only have access to 28.2E?

    Here's A Video Showing That On My 2.1 Ghz Single Core 2Gb Laptop With Normal HDD On Wifi, That Within 25 Seconds You Can Access The Channels With EPG, Whilst The EPG Is Updated In The Background... (The EPG Has Already Been Populated In The Background Within The Last 3 Days)

    Code:

    That's The Entire 28.2e Bouquet's And Full Channel List...

    You have 2 options.

    Delete the satellites on your sat box that you don't have access to.

    Or create a bouquet with the channels you only need on the XBMC box and in the configuration of VU plugin in XMBC set to only to download one bouquet..

    Note if you create a bouquet manually on sat box it adds (TV) to the bouquet name. This is needed in the title in VU plugin too..

    BTW what device are you running XBMC on ?
