Hi,

I'm looking to see if I can get an epg like what's in the attached file.

I've got a DM800SE sim 2.10 BL 84D clone using gstrooms OpenATV 4.2 (dated end of August).

Is this done with CoolTVguide, CrossEPG or another plugin and/or is it also dependant on image i'm using?

Also, what Skin is this as I have Red HD skin (v1.6) but it doesn't have the Virgin image.

Thanks in advance.

you need to enabel virgin epg

menu / setup /systme / epg / settings
 
So all I need to do is enable Virgin EPG in settings?

Do I not need CoolTV epg then?

Any idea what Skin this is as well?

Thanks in advance.
 
Cool EPG displays EPG data. Yes if you want a different view from default image ones. Try the built in one first.

Cross EPG Downloader. Downloads the EPG Data. This is not required for UK cable if you have an image with the EPG setting mentioned above.

The EPG populates as you view. But besr to zap to teh PVR EPG channel for two minutes. You can automate this by using the EPG refresh plugin.
 
Thanks.

Yes, I'm looking for an EPG layout similar to above (not too concerned with skin at this moment).

The default one didn't look like that; it was more of a longer list of now & next (If that makes sense?) or have i got it configured wrong?

Also, how do I access EPG layout like that directly from dream remote as I can't see dedicated button for EPG?

Thanks again for all your help.

Install cool epg mate it has a few different views and one will display the epg like in your pic. As for accessing the epg directly, I use a plugin called multiquick button that allows you to map anything to any button on the remote, I usually map the red button to open cool epg :)

I couldn't find multiquick plugin in feeds.

I did, however, managed to get the EPG to how I want it when I press the Info button but then when I came back to it later that EPG changed to that as attached.

Could someone please direct me on how I can get the EPG from what it is now back to what I posted it as I can't figure out what I actually did wrong.

Thanks

In addition to above, has anyone got any suggestions on how I can lock it down to prevent changes as this box (if I can ever get it done) is going to a home where it's users may accidently press buttons and cause all kinds of havoc for me :proud:
 
....But best to zap to the PVR EPG channel for two minutes. You can automate this by using the EPG refresh plugin.
Can I clarify that with EPG refresh it zaps to the correct pvr epg channel automatically?

Thanks
 
Yes, as per setting you set it to. You have to set the chanenl and times.
Thanks.

I couldn't see anywhere to set the actual channel itself but I have set the times for early hours.

What image have you installed not all have the option.

OpenATV is the best youll get

Could be a flakey usb stick it should not unmount after you have mounted it.
