Cable/Satellite EPG issues?

[champs4life]

Ok Abu I wont delete the epg.dat file yet then.

I have pressed the blue button, pressed cross epg downloader and let it download all the information. I then checked and from what I can tell it shows 7 days EPG on the satellite side. However when I press the the blue button and go on EPG refresh now it goes to PVR_EPG and after waiting for two minutes it only shows a 5 day EPG.

I have also noticed sometimes both satellite and cable just shows a day worth of information. Shouldnt it automatically update the EPG without me doing it manually?

Shall I change the times to scan EPG refresh automatically after the ABM and EPG scans?

That is a not a good idea. EPG data is loaded at startup and kept in RAM. Deleting the file wont achieve anything as the old data (held in RAM) will be re-written back at shut down/restart. Only worth doing it this way if the Enigma2 has been stopped with init 4 command.

Way of doing it is as follows:
Menu > Setup > System > EPG > Load/Save/Delete > Delete

Abu asked you to delete the EPG data file by doing;
Menu, Setup, System, EPG, Load/Save/Delete and proceed to Delete.

Should do. The only person who knows what settings you are using is yourself.

Once again, very little information.

He said not to delete it if its not corrupted thats why I havent.

[Andy_Hazza]

How do you know its not corrupted?

Ok, I have been busy so not had enough time to upload screenshots of the settings I am currently using for EPG today but will try do upload them tommorow.

Is that okay?

I can understand not being able to pinpoint the issue I am having without any screenshots.

[champs4life]

I dont know, I just went by what Abu said and tried to do the steps again.

If you want me to delete the EPG file and upload the screenshots of the new settings I will or just upload screenshots of current settings without deleting the file I will do that instead.

I am just getting slightly confused what to do next.

[Andy_Hazza]

Delete the file then rerun CrossEPG etc.
i would also pull screenshots of your settings so Abu can take a look.

[champs4life]

Ok then will start from scratch this time by deleting the EPG file, then running cross EPG and then EPG refresh with screenshots and will let you guys know if the 7 days EPG appears on both.

One question do I need to uninstall EPG refresh (dont know how to) and install it again?

[abu baniaz]

No need to uninstall. Just show settings. Times etc.

I have a cable Tuner VU SOLO, currently with VIX Hades.
I use the Rytec Vermin feed and this has not worked correctly for the last 2 months with any of the Vix Images.
Anyone have any ideas on this one?

Use EPG refresh plugin for cable

Thanks, I'll give that a go.
