Is it possible to get crossepg on cable working, if not is there anything else to use, thanks.
 
What image did you end up with mate ?

Crossepg does work although not all the channels have listings, if you on a recent Openpli it can pull in a EPG off Cables EPG channel.
 
openATV-exp-dm800sev2-2014-05-25-20-51, back up. ferret, would that work on the image I am using?

Well tbh im not sure OpenATv have it implemented try using cross epg then update providers and you should have a option for Virgin. As i said some channel listing are missing.
 
Have tried what you said ferret and it gets to parsing events and then throws back crossepg error no dvb-s no sims found, weard or what,lol.
 
It seems you may have set it to download from the satellite, which you are not using.

You must update rytec providers, select rytek virgin UK. It will then download from the internet.
 
That exactly what I did and got that error above, hey not the end of the world if it does not work but nice if it did, thanks.

I was having loads of trouble aswel, I removed it and installed and earlyer version and it works fine crossepg version 6.2
 
zap to the pvr_epg channel and leave it there for a couple of minutes. Check epg and report back how many days' data you have.

If you have a weeks' worth of data, you can automate process (zapping to get data) with epg refresh plugin.
 
Sorry to sound a bit blonde but how do you "zap to the pvr_epg channel "
 
In your channel bouquet press red/all, u will find it there
 
If that does not work, did you totally remove the new ver of crossepg completely before installing ver 6.2.
 
Yes, I have flashed atv a couple of times and anything above 6.2 has never worked as it does in outher images not sure why

If you have flashed OPenATV, what are the benefits of using using Crossepg to download EPG from the internet when you can download from the stream. Using the internet, you are depending on a third party instead of the broadcaster.

There is also the xmltv epg importer on the OE-A images
 
Iv just always done it that way, how do I download from stream? is that using epg refresh plugin
 
Provided you have enabled the Virgin EPG in the EPG menu, then yes. Manually zap to the chanenl and leave it there for 2 minutes or use the EPG refresh plugin to do it for you every day.
 
Installed ver 6.2 and installed XMLTV-Importer and although missing program description, its working, so thanks very much guys.
 
Yes, iv been auto running the plugin through the night as some channels were missing , so I don't have to down load cross epg then
