    Default Vu+ Duo 7day epg help

    Hi All
    I have been trying to get a full 7 day epg working on my vu+ duo without much luck.

    The built in epg in the dream elite image partly works but only for about half the channels. I have tried to get cross epg working with the dream elite image without much luck either.

    Anyone having any luck?
    Cheers

    To start with I wouldnt use the dream elite image it uses a modified kernel that does not support images in USB.
    Try using the nightly build of Pli with cross epg version 2_0.3.2.
    Pli also has the advantage of using a seperate cardserver and client on the same box.
    My 2 cents worth

    Thanks Vic
    Not really planning on playing with this box too much its going to be my main viewing box in the lounge room so not too concerned with running images from usb.

    DE has a few nice little feature that I have not been able to reproduce on pli (but I havent tried that hard to be honest so they might exist).

    Its only small things that bug the lady of the house, in particular she really likes features on oneforall's better graphical epg. Things like the option to change channel from the graphical epg with the OK button and then epg disappearing when OK is pressed.

    Its the little things that make them happy.

    But I guess its all academic if the epg doesnt work properly. I will put pli back on and have another play.

    Cheers

    I have been playing around with the epg options a bit more in the Dream Elite image and have found the following
    It only works for about Half the channels
    The channels it does work for it works really well
    Its an absolute no brainer to setup

    There is an option to update the channel list, however this doesn’t work and causes the box to crash.

    I think the reason not all channels display an epg properly is that the details in the channels list are not up to date. The channel list is in a file called channels.au is located in
    /usr/share/dict

    Here is a sample of the file
    1;71;Showcase;477;fab:4:1000
    1;327;HITS;474;426f1000
    1;86;SCI FI;1218;138e:5:1000
    1;88;CI;1220;1390:5:1000
    1;5;ARENA;1161;3ed:1:1000

    What I have found from another site is the following for SKY which I believe uses the same epg format as fox.

    A; B ; C ; D ; E : F : G
    1;1255;TV3 Ireland;104;2585:7fb:2

    a=download channel yes or no ( 1 or 0 )
    b=channel ID (where do you find this)
    c=Channel name, (obvious)
    d=Sky EPG number (where do you find this)
    e=SID (in hex from dreambox edit )
    f=TSID (in hex from dreambox edit)
    g=Network ID all channels have use 1000 for this

    What I cant work out are the details that go in position B and D
    the following are details for a channel that the epg works for:
    1;223;NG Adventure;1282;2ee3:c:1000

    And this one doesn’t work
    1;91;How To;480;1393:5:1000

    Does anyone have a valid channels.au file or know where to find the missing details.
    Cheers
