[QUOTE="briangw, post: 760118, member: 290989"] I dont think a lot of people realise this, but the following is one of the most critical factors in making the 'freesat' EPG work correctly :- [LIST] [*][B]On the FS Passion/Innovation range you must have at least 1 channel in your channel list from 11426H for the EPG to function correctly [/B] [/LIST] If you do not, then the logic behind the FS EPG firmware fails. Since the original 'red button' [U]ITV1 HD[/U] has been removed, and [U]Men&Movies[/U] has changed frequency, there are now no TV channels on 11426H at all ([I]see KingOfSat[/I]). This is why on my channel list, I have manually edited ([I]using SetEditPassion, which I highly recommend for manual control of your channel list[/I]) the [U]Freesat Info[/U] radio channel with a dummy VPID to force it into the TV list. If you have no channels in the TV list, but you have either [U]Freesat Info[/U] or [U]Radio Caroline[/U] in your Radio List, switch to Radio and go into the EPG.
