There are three significant bugs with CrossEPG downloader:
When using a motorised dish, there is a false lock when moving east for 28.2e
Combining OpenTV EPG data with Rytec data using EPG importer usually results in corrupt EPG.
CrossEPG uses first matching namespace for each {nid,tsid,sid} combination and uses it for all satellites
To work around these issues, a radio times EPG emulator has been created to obtain OpenTV EPG data and provide it to the EPG importer plugin. You will need to use EPG Importer after fetching the EPG data.
If you only use CrossEPG downloader for 28.2, there is no benefit to switching to this plugin.
Installation:
(From openvix 5.2 044 and other OE-A images from 24/6/2019)
Coming soon to OpenPLI Menu > Plugins > Green (Download) > Scroll to "System plugins" > radiotimesemulator > Confirm the installation
59019
59020
59021
Restart the GUI
General EPG settings:
As normal, make sure EPG is set to a storage device and not the internal flash memory
Menu > Setup > EPG > Settings> EPG location> Change to the mount point you want to use > Save
If you only have a USB stick connected, it will be mounted as /media/HDD

Radio Times Emulator settings:
Menu > Setup > EPG > Radio Times Emulator OpenTV Emulator Import
Some PLi images will be: Menu > Plugins > Radio Times Emulator OpenTV Emulator Import
Leave next two options off unless your receiver has issues with polling. Zgemmas, Xtrend, Spycat, Mutant,
You can set a timer for fetching the EPG. Enter time and how often you want to download.
Make sure it is before EPG importer
In the example pictured, it is daily at 13:10.
Press Yellow to perform an immediate download.

Once the radiotimes emulator has run, it will fetch the EPG data as well as create a provider for EPG importer.
The process requires a free tuner to complete. If you don't have one, the picture will go black while it processes.
EPG importer settings:
Setup EPG importer plugin
Menu > Setup > EPG > EPG-Importer
Stage 1:
Set up the main settings, like time, number of days, etc.
On this screenshot, I have set it to 13:15
59024
Stage 2:
Set up the provider
While in the EPG-Importer main setup page, press Blue for the sources
Highlight "Radiotimes Emulator....." and press OK to expand the list
Press OK to ensure that "OpenTV...." has a tick
Only enable other Rytec providers that will not clash.
Green to save
59025
59026
Stage 3:
Initial download.
Once you set up your sources, you will be returned to the previous screen.
You can manually download the ones you enabled instead of waiting for the automated time.
Press Yellow (Manual/Download)
EPG Importer will then fetch the selected providers.

It will then run on the days/time you have set.
