Don't think there's another way to get epg on smart tv apart from what your supplier sends on to you.

It's annoying alright, I don't think so. Only ever had a couple of trials on smart tv. Preferred to have a box. Maybe send a question to your supplier or see if you get a better answer on here.They might know of a way.
Try to use another app, may be EPG working is well.
Are you running iptv off a box? If so, what's epg like on there?

It's pretty much full epg on the box.I use e channelizer aswell to get full epg for the ones i don't have it for.
I have a zgemma h1 and h2 with a vm line but decided to switch to iptv as there were too many issues. Would I be able to run the iptv off the zgemma and get better epg etc?

You can run iptv off them, but epg is pretty much supplier dependent. A box is usually better in my opinion as it can be hardwired and not use WiFi
Thanks mate . I'll look into it a bit more
Try e-channelizer and use this link for the specific country you want, works very well for the most part. http://koditvepg.com/epgs/

The trouble with EPGs is, the listings are matched case sensitive to the channel names. And since many IPTV providers use custom names for their channels it means a generic EPG won't work. So "BBC1 HD" might match on a generic EPG list, but "IPTV BBC1 HD" might not. You can manually assign them using EChannelizer but it takes ages lol.

TBH smart tv's are not that good compared to a designated box. If you want something simple get a mag 322 box as they are very easy to setup.Just give your IPTV provider your mac address of the mag box and they will give you a url to enter into the portal and that's it. Good IPTV suppliers have their own epg source now so should be fine. You can use your H2 box and it will be fine. I have used lots of these boxes but there are just a few more things to learn but it is worth the effort in my opinion and there are plenty of people on this forum that will help you out if needed.
I also used a LG smart tv with the app it did have a basic epg but at least you could see tiles for documentaries movies etc etc and show you what programs are on in the next 7 days... ive now just bought a 2nd gen firestick and what a sh!t epg that is.. its just a list of whats on :/

Not anymore with E-Channelizer v18 (premium)! Unlike the old way which M3U was imported as a flat list of channels and EPG was assigned from satellites manually one-by-one, M3U (extended) and EPG stuff is now managed fully automated and in no time.
You can batch assign either DVB or XMLTV EPG to multiple favorites or even whole bouquets in seconds. It will find the best matches automatically for you (case-insensitive), even with prefixed or unidentical names (e.g. BBC1 HD will match IPTV BBC1).
Moreover, you can specify your preferred DVB source and EPG language to take priority over others whenever available. You can also assign Rytec and KodiTV EPG (out-of-box), add custom EPG providers (unlimited) or combine all together seamlessly.

The only way to get a good epg is through an enigma box with xtream editor... Your not going to get a good epg with smart iptv as its hit and miss.
