Actually I have noticed I am having to manually download epg. Using crossEPG at moment might switch to rytec.

rytec is very unreliable matey ...
use crossepg...whenever u make any changes eg..put in a update time ,
you must reboot yer box to take effect.
i use crossepg ..
open tv (sky) is very reliable ...
and download at 4am everyday to the HDD ..it works most times ...

I use rytec on my TM and it works very well with multiple mirrors and randomiser
