[QUOTE="compufunk, post: 814240, member: 288741"] What I do is download a pre made epg.dat file and export its contents to a file which CrossEPG will read its EPG data from. I do it for Sky UK/Ireland, but other providers are available. Why do it this way rather than download from satellite? 1: Its a lot quicker. 2: On my AB IPbox 9000 HD I tried quite a few Enigma2 images always had trouble downloading the from satellite. There seemed to be problems with parsing the data so it kept crashing. First of all, install CrossEPG as per the instructions on their site _http://crossepg.com/documentation/installation.html. 1: Download the file ..... [CODE]wget http://hqsatellite.com/satmate/skyuk_epg.dat.gz -O /hdd/epg.dat.gz[/CODE] Obviously, use a different link if you want a different provider. 2: Decompress it..... [CODE]gunzip /hdd/epg.dat.gz[/CODE] 3: Copy the contents of the file to the external EPG file that cross EPG uses..... [CODE]cat /hdd/epg.dat > /hdd/crossepg/ext.epg.dat[/CODE](I cant remember if [B]ext.epg.dat[/B]is the correct file name. I'll check when I'm home.) 4: Remove the /hdd/epg.dat file so that its not in your way next time you do this.... [CODE]rm /hdd/epg.dat[/CODE] 5: Restart enigma....... [CODE]killall enigma2[/CODE] All of the above assumes that you have installed and configured Crossepg correctly. Also, the paths might be slightly different if you dont have a HDD. I tested on a few of the Tideglo based E2 images, SifTeam , PKT, AFF Summer Dream. It worked flawlessly on all of them. I have yet to test it out on the DGS based images. I've written a little script to do all of the above automagically. This is handy if you'd prefer not to have to kill enigma while you are watching TV. Just schedule it to happen during the night.
