    EPG best stored to your HDD, ditch the usb flash drive.

    Don't confuse yourself with EPG & Picons. Picons will spin the HDD, the EPG is best stored to your HDD.

    Os mega set up guide

    I'm well aware of the difference between picons and EPG.

    Been using USB stick for my EPG since 2011 never had any issues with it. As 2 of my boxes don't have HDDs

    There are a lot more experienced users on here than me though. So if Andy says HDD then listen to him.

    I learned to do all this setting up myself so I suppose ita personal preference with stuff like that.

    Never store EPG to flash. You can store Picons to flash if receiver has enough internal flash space. EPG to HDD is good.

    I think he was meaning his USB Flash drive as opposed to the internal flash.

    Yes was suggesting epg on usb flash. But think it best on internal hard drive by the looks of it.
    Thanks all.
    I may be back if struggle to set up ...

    It does not matter if you use a USB flash drive or internal mechanical HDD for the EPG.

    Your storage device must be connected/available to the receiver at start up, shut down, reboot.
