Zgemma H9S running VIX 6.1.004
This is my bedroom box without a hard disk but with a USB stick to store the EPG. It has a direct connection to the quad LNB via a down-lead cable.
I have a couple of timers
1) at 6.15am the box is set to record* from the Sky IEPG channel for 15 minutes to get the EPG.
2) at 6:45am the box is set to record* BBC1 for 15 minutes. This is to ensure that when I switch the box on it goes to last channel the box was switched to and not just a blank screen from the IEPG channel.
The box is set for only SKY FTA channels and only gets the 7 day EPG from the IEPG channel (Freesat EPG is disabled)
*The recording is to trash so I’m not actually filling up the USB stick. This method has worked previously for around a year on this box and my other box, an Extrend 10K. The Extrend doesn’t have the problem detailed below.
The Zgemma H9S is placed in deep standby when not in use
When switched on from, say, 4 hours in deep standby it boots normally. When going to the grid EPG screen the EPG for the current time is missing and for ALL channels. The EPG for programs in the next 30 minutes to 2 hours for all channels is also missing. The period for the missing EPG seems random and different on a different switch on from hours after being in deep standby. The EPG for approx 7 days afterwards is OK. The time displayed in the EPG obtained from the transponder is correct.
Repeatedly going back into the grid EPG screen doesn’t make a difference.
However going to menu → setup - > epg → load, save, and delete EPG cache and selecting load EPG Cache does restore the EPG for the current time and for the missing 30 to 240 minutes. This indicates that the data is available but the box time is possibly hours out during boot up from deep standby?
I repeat, that I’m not seeing this problem on my Extrend ET10K and as the Extrend this is my main box I would notice this immediately. The Zgemma H9S is only used very occasionally and possibly I wouldn’t have noticed the problem in previous versions of OpenVix so I don’t know when the problem started happening.
Could it be the the Zgemma H9S is losing the correct time during deep standby and is using this incorrect time when loading the EPG cache during boot-up, and before fetching the time from the transponder?
The time zone is correctly set.
