EPG Importer plugin:
This only downloads EPG data from the internet. This EPG data is uploaded by the Rytec team. This is mainly Doglover on the PLi forum.
For this to work, there needs to be a constant maintenance of the channel service references.
You can call this EPG data "Rytec EPG"
CrossEPG Downloader:
CrossEPG downloader can do two main things-
- It can download EPG date from the satellite for Sky UK, Sky Italy and Austech. There is no need for an internet connection. These are called OpenTV EPG providers.
- It can also download the "Rytec EPG". These are called XMLTV EPG providers.
If you are using any Rytec EPG, you are better off forgetting CrossEPG downloader. The EPG is always rejected when you use both together.
