    I'm hindered by knowing C pretty well but not C++.

    I find one thing that makes it go wrong on my Zgemma H7S is if I happen to be flicking through the channels at a time when the EPG is being read (by either OpenTV Zapper or by EPG Refresh).
    I should add. For me this is not a new problem. I have always found the EPG would occasionally corrupt in this way (lots of blank entries).

    I've been trying to make everything that's involved with reading the OpenTV EPG run at a high priority, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. But I may have missed something.
    Weirdly, it looks like the current code actually runs (or is intended to run - it looks wrong to me) the EPG reading stuff at a low priority!?
    Do no other people find that flicking from channel to channel (satellite channels) while OpenTV EPG download starts doesn't cause a problem?

    I'm wondering if it's some weird bug that's specific to Zgemma or to the Zgemma H7.

    Definitely causes an issue (sometimes!). I can't pin it down. I know if I don't disturb the download, then I have no issues with the EPG.
