Phantom patch 25.12.10 7 day EPG 28.2 sky uk

[Larry-G]

could not find any discussion of it on the forum so i thought i'd make a post to let people know.

so basically the phantom patch released on 25.12.10 now has included a 7 day sky uk epg. at present this epg is still in the early stages and will no doubt be updated and tweaked further in later patch releases but it's a huge step forward in my opinion.

in order to populate the epg you will need to tune your receiver into the following radio channel for approx 5 minutes ( the longer the better really )

Astra 2A (28.2E) - IEPG data 1 - 11778.00 V - 27500 2/3 - SID 4189

Thats great news, this is one thing thats always steered me away from non-linux receivers. Hope they do the same for some of the other european providers.

i know that at least one of the Australian teams have picked up on this and ported it to their box / network so hopefully it's just a matter of time before other teams follow suite and we finally after almost 20 years may get a decent EPG on a non network provided satellite receiver.

agreed it is a work in progress but as you said any thing is far better than just now and next. although i personally dont have any need for a EPG. i know tens of thousands do.
so thanks go to the phantom team for their hard work.

i dont have a non linux box to test it with but there are many many reports from dozens of forums of this working including form digidude him self. but as already said this is very early days yet.

do you know if this will work on a echostar ad3600ipva and i can test it for everyone as this is the only non linux box i have

the only images i have seen this incorporated into at present are the phantom patches for the non linux TM's and some random Australian box / image combo.
it has yet to be ported to any other as far as i am aware.

ok mate thanks no probs

Just got it working. Prob was that when you tune into that radio channel you must then press epg, leave for few minutes, works perfect!!!!

there are still a few tweaks to get this fully working. i tried telling DM when he was releasing the patches how to implement it, but was turned away. Once the Phant0m took over, the first thing i did was traced him, and offered the information, and now here it is implemented in the patches

the tweaking will mean that the receiver will sort out the EPG data by itself, but, this patch shows everybody that not only is it totally possible, but also that support for non linux technomate receivers is still going strong, no matter what some forums may say

non linux TM's are not only some of the most aesthetically pleasing receivers but there some of the strongest receivers on the market as far as i am concerned.
yes i do love my linux boxes but there will always be a place for a non linux TM amongst my box of tricks, especially when they have people like you working behind the scenes.
