Cable/Satellite EPG issues?

[champs4life]

Apology if this is in the wrong section of the forum, there are so many sections its gets confusing where to post lol. So I have installed the EPG refresh plugin, however I am not getting the full 7 day EPG for cable despite setting it up to refresh between 5.00-5.30am. At the same time it causes the cross epg on satellite not to show the 7 day guide. Is there a conflict between the plugin and crossepg which is causing the issue of not receiving 7 day EPG on both satellite and cable?

[champs4life]

Has anyone had a similar issue with EPG like me? Can no one advise me what to do? Really would appreciate it.

I have noticed that I have not got a 7day EPG on satellite despite having 28.2 activated in opentv providers. Could this be a direct conflict from the cable EPG which is also not showing the 7 day guide?

i've never really checked for 7 days but will have look later maybe on epgrefresh i think you got option on epgrefresh for how long it runs for maybe increase it

Delboy13, I checked my system. Works fine. Unless OP actually states settings he is using, everyone has to guess what he has set.

Previous attempts to get information from him have proved to be very difficult.

Better to help those who want to be helped.

Abu what information do you want from me? Instead of picking on me can't you just say?

As I have said I have 28.2 enabled in open TV providers with cross EPG and have EPG refresh installed. What else do you want to know?

[abu baniaz]

Nobody is picking on you. If you make such allegations against me or any other moderator, you will get an infraction.

Ir order to asssist you: What details/settings have you used?

[timofee]

There is a post that explains exactly how to set this up. For now please tell us what your settings are showing when you press blue - edit services - when in the EPG refresh Configuration screen.

You should be able to get both a 7 day satellite EPG and a 7 day Cable EPG working in full at the same time.

We don't even know if Virgin EPG is enabled. All guesswork.

Here is the link to the guide for UK cable EPG.

Firstly, I'm sorry Abu I wasn't accusing you. I don't want to get in any trouble if you think I was. I'm sorry.

I have virgin enabled in EPG.

Abu I have followed that guide to the letter.

When pressing blue and in edit services in EPG refresh it shows editing:channels and refreshing:PVR_EPG.

I have refresh EPG to automatically to yes, refresh auto start earliest to 5.30 and latest to 6.00

Do you guys need any more information which I have not provided?

If so could you please let me know as I really want this issue sorted out.

Thanks.

If you change channel and leave it on the pvr epg channel for two minutes, do you get 7 days epg? (Ignore the fact that it says "channel off air".)

[champs4life]

No it varies but I only get a 3 or 4 day epg. I never get 7 day epg when press blue button and then EPG refresh and click automatic refresh which brings up pvr epg.

I have also noticed since installing the EPG refresh plugin I dont always get 7 day EPG on satellite either and only again a couple of days worth of EPG.

Could there be a direct conflict between CrossEPG and EPG refresh plugin?

[abu baniaz]

The EPG refesh plugin is just an automated channel zapping plugin to facilitate downloading the epg data from the transponders.

As you are issues with two different methods of acquiring epg data, I suspect your issue is somewhere else. The processes themselves are fine.

Go through your steps again, and take screenshots at each stage and upload them. Perhaps you are overlooking something that someone can spot.

There are various guides on taking screenshots on the forum.

[champs4life]

Thanks Abu will do that as soon as I am able to.

To upload screenshots I would need to use openwebif correct?
