[VU+ Duo] EPG Problem "Starting Soon"

[abu baniaz]

Do you only have the HDD connected, no USB stick?

If you deleted the epg.dat file while enigma was asleep, you should not have any epg data. I'm guessing the epg is being saved elsewhere.

Is that normal?

Nope. You're messing up somewhere.

Can you telnet into the box & issue:

find / -name epg.dat

Then post the results here.

I have an external USB drive which I use for movies etc.

I assumed that as I had downloaded the epg again it would re-appear.

No results from that telnet.

No results from that telnet.

In that case, your EPG hasn't downloaded again for some reason & you are no longer seeing the 'starting soon' issue in EPG, just blank EPG?

Correct. Shall i download the EPG now?

 

[judge]

yes .

 

[wubbster]

Still the same but missing a few entries.
Got to head to bed now, but any new suggestions I will work on in the morning. Thank you all for your help so far.

 

[judge]

any new suggestions

Yes, you still haven't downloded CrossEPG -> OpenTV provider for 28.2 properly for some reason.

Or 'epg.dat' has been renamed, see EPG-settings.

I have downloaded on EPG->Crossepg->download now and EPG->Crossepg->OpenTVpriv->download(on s*y uk OpenTV)

EPG filename says "epg"

In the CrossEPG setup OpenTV Providers, you should have SKY OpenTV (Astra2 on 28.2) selected. It should have a green tick mark next to it. No other providers should be selected. Press Green to save. No other providers (XMLTV, XEPGDB or Scripts) should be enabled. No need for asterisks when typing SKY as there are none in the menus. Run download and, providing you have a good satellite connection you should get your EPG data.

 

[wubbster]

All my settings were as above. But I just changed location to USB and re-downloaded Epg and seems to be ok!

Thanks guys for your help and have learnt lots trying different things.

 

[wubbster]

I just went to show my wife that the EPG was working and it was back to "starting soon"

What storage devices do you have?

Can you telnet following command and post results?

df-h

df-h

I have an internal HDD and a 150gb USB hard disk I usually ftp movies to. The -df-h says "-sh: df-h: not found"

 

[abu baniaz]

Try using Putty for your telnet commands. There is a moe recent vesrion of DCC too.

Install this ipk

Transfer to /tmp/ directory. Then Blue Button > Vix> Install local extension
Running it should put enigma to sleep, remove any copies of epg.dat from several presumed locations and restart. Once you have run it and your problem is solved, uninstall it please.

Correct, it should be

df -h
