[QUOTE="shumifan50, post: 642248, member: 265778"] I am a bit confused. E2_LOADEPG works for all channels on several satellites. It is the epg used by Nabilosat - see this thread [url]http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellite/dreambox800/141612-sky-uk-epg-soon-available-e2-boxes.html[/url] Most other OpenTV epgs are derivatives of e2_loadepg (including crossepg). The installation is bit fiddly, but quite clearly documented and then you just need the updated channels_list file and you need to update one line in /usr/bin/enigma2.sh (clearly documented). Or you can download through the Gemini Blue Panel and edit channel_list file or grab it from above. You edit e2_loadepg.conf and select the EPGs that you want and enable the channels that you want in the channel_list files for each EPG. It is easily configured, runs off flash, hard drive or usb. And it will support all channels in your lamedb for your setup (provided it has OpenTV format for satellite download or XMLTv format for websites (not like radio times which is a proprietary format). You then use cron to set up a daily run, most likely at about 04h00 when nobody is watching TV. The daily run ensures a full 7 days ahead of epg. If you run it weekly then the epg will get shorter and shorter as the new days to complete 7 days will not get added. So, for the people with NBH, the channel_list problem will also apply if someone has not fixed the channel_list. Note. To keep files (and cache) smaller and run times shorter, it is advisable to only enable channels that you want an EPG for and disble the ones you dont need. Please also note that some channels dont seem to give an epg at all (I think UK Gold is one of them or used to be). [/QUOTE]
