How long for EPG.

[erno]

I have played a bit with the EPG stuff on my DM800, and the usage is a bit confusing.
I have installed the plugins "EPG refresh" and "EPG search".
These plugins work well but don't show a lot.
Is it possible to get long EPGs ? A week or few days in advance ?
What I get is more a few hours in advance, which is not very usefull.

Re: How long for EPG.

Do the channels broadcast a long EPG ?
Maybe some channels only show short EPG, which may explain what we can't see more .

I have noticed that the Swiss chanels (TSR ...) show much more .

CroosEPG solve all problems with epg for 1 week,
but for accurate epg you have to update every few day because sometimes television change events

I didn't succeed in making it work. Is there a good tutorial ?

Re: How long for EPG.

At last I succeded inthe installation.
Then I struggled becauseof the setting menu missing.
I reinstalled another version and it seems to be properly installed.

The pb now is that I launch it from green button, it download stuff, but when I lookat my EPG I see nothing more than my standard 2hours EPG.

What did I miss ?

Re: How long for EPG.

heres a trick I just discovered, if you switch to the audio channel that broadcast the EPG Data it automatically downloads the EPG Data, for Sky UK its EPG Background Audio Channel. Im not sure if CrossEPG is required to do that.

Re: How long for EPG.

At last I made it work.
In fact all is stored in an epg.dat file.
So I had to indicate in the epg parameters that it has to look for the file in /media/hdd instead of flash.

Now it works great !
Thanks a lot to all of you.

... if you switch to the audio channel that broadcast the EPG Data it automatically downloads the EPG Data, for Sky UK its EPG Background Audio Channel...

Where do you find or how do you access this audio channel.
