hmm ok thanks, i did try this, perhaps i will login via ftp and remove the epg.dat and re download, but to be honnest i reflash and tried again and had the same issue,, when i setup the box again this was my process:
flash with the latest vix image
install plugin autobouquets E2 and configure
install cccam soft and configure
configure cross epg to HDD select opentv 28.2e and download, also set to download everyday at 4am
do you think it could be to do with the autobouquets settings?
