Trouble with Technomate twin Cross EGP.

[score1_uk]

Hi all,

Having asked on other forums and not getting any fixes I thought to ask here. I have a TM twin Oe. Every now and again the system hangs with the VIX image logo spinning in the top left corner. After some pointers I think the problem is with the Cross EPG. I have it set to update daily at 4.30am using open TV as the only source.

When I disable Cross and select xmltv with a single UK source the system doesnt hang but it also doesnt update the epg data for sly channels etc, only fta.

Any advice?

Use cross epg. Not xmltv.
Delete epg file and rescan auto bouquets for e2. Settings to your preference.
Then scan cross epg
Should work fine.
I've got 2 running fine.
Also what build are you on?
I'm using vix 3.2 build 010

Done all above. Will see how it goes. Under image infomation menu I have version: Apollo, build: 166.

I think you should update your software on your box. Apollo is a little out of date. Update to latest version of vix and your problems will be solved.

how do I do that on the tm? I have never done a image update before.

OpenViX Downloads
Download latest 015
Unrar / unzip to usb stick
Turn box off at back
Plug usb stick in
Turn box on
Update will show on screen
Press ok
It will update. Takes a few mins
Then follow on screen set up to set up to your own preferences.

Ok, so got the new image installed. Seems ok so far :)

 

[gilvey]

Glad to hear mate

took a while to install all extensions etc. I have selected only opentv uk for the epg source. I hope this will be the end of the hanging.

Select UK and Ireland if you want 3pm footy ;-)

sweet, as I do indeed. Woke up this morning to a hang though :( Will double check all epg settings.

where is epg set to go?

 

[score1_uk]

hdd, with 512mb swap file setup.

 

[cactikid]

is your box a slow box needing swap file? duo needs it as unsure what model and specs your box is.

This morning box was hung again. This time the vix image icon had also frozen and the 'starting downloader' bar was showing but stuck. There must be a solution to this.

 

[gilvey]

I get that from time to time. Last few days Internet has been going down.Box this morning as Internet running Ok. I don't use swap file. Epg to hard drive. Try deleting epg from hard drive then do another scan

Will do, also just installed vix 017 build. Lets see what that does :)
