Hard top say mate what source are you using for the EPG OpenTV or Rytec ?

What ever source your using now try the other one and see if it clears the problem.
 
If you're referring to what is now & next on some channels then this can sometimes happen as now & next is broadcast with that channel you're viewing. If it's a bit further ahead than what would be now & next then change source as mentioned by ferret.

Also, for satellite, don't use both openTV and rytek xmltv as your source. Just one at a time :)

Did you delete the epg.dat from were ever you store it before trying rytec ?

Also if your not on the images stock skin switch back to stock skin and see if that clear it.
 
Sounds like the now data stream is displaying that. I doubt it would be a problem with data stream itself tbh.

What version of crossepg are you using?

What channel(s) and i'll check mine as I use opentv?

If it doesn't work deleting epg.dat I would delete the crossepg folder along with epg.dat which are stored wherever you have selected to save epg.dat.

Forgot to mention sometimes it's best to put box to sleep by telnet command "init 4" and then deleting epg.dat and crossepg folder wherever you have your epg data saved.

Then issue "init 6" from telnet again to reboot box.

no go on that one but thanks for the idea
 
Are you using crossepg 0.8.1?

What channels is this happening on and what frequency and can double-check it's not a stream issue (doubtful like I said).

If not i'm sure you can turn off now/next epg data stream but I wouldn't recommend it as that will always show last minute changes that may not be epg.

I would try and remove plugin delete crossepg folder/epg.dat and restart box and add crossepg again (assuming it's available from your plugin feeds).
