Mtpox you called it right for me!! I'm pretty sure it was the coax for me. It was late last night but I started messing round the back of the box and I can't be sure but the tuner A connection might have actually been in lnb in rather than tuner A. Tuner a and tuner b are the two bottom connections on the back for anyone else. Woke up this AM to a full EPG.
thanks everyone for your advice
I was having EPG issues, some blank listings no matter how many updates I did, and the EPG update process itself would take well over an hour to complete, I then found the attached document on another forum, changed my settings and wow what a difference, turn off all other XMLTV etc and just use the OPENTV provider, downloads in less than 5 minutes and navigation within the EPG is much quicker too.
8 to go down. 2 to go up
Hi boobishabang, how exactly does one disable xmltv, in my list there are 4 providers but none are ticked. only thing ticked on any of my lists is "SKY UK OPEN TV Astra2 28.2" * CrossEPG starts to download and stops at 488kb for about 5 mins * then is says "reading summaries" and read goes from 0 up to 1.94 mb and stays like that for about 10 mins * then it goes back to the crossEPG default screen. * when I exit out and restart the box - there is no EPG info loaded at all! both Tuners attached and set to simple astra 28 configuration. I have tried it with one connected to each tuner also but it still does not work, I have 3 of these boxes and it is the same on each of them, I also did an complete software update on one of the boxes and it still does not work on that one. Is there any alternative to cross EPG? - I dont think it is going to work with these boxes. (thanks in advance for your help)
