On the OEA images, you can specify the global location where EPG is saved and can indeed select USB. I dont know what PLi/Blackhole images do with this plugin, I could not find a menu to change location. Sorry.

Perhaps install epg cache selector plugin?

thanks for that I already use the usb for crossepg and I was not sure if the cable tuner would store the epg
 
not if you have epgrefresh plugin loaded , best to set it to download while it is in standby before you want to watch cable tv or on satellite channel
 
Does anyone know if this still works? I have the 'virgin epg' checked in vix settings, but I cant find the channel anywhere
 
The chanenl is not in teh bouquets, you will find it via the all services method. You can actually use any service on the same transponder.
 
I see, I'll have another look, thanks

Edit: So thats where it was :)

Do you know if its possible to save the EPG data to USB on the latest OpenVix Abu?

You can specify any storage device in Vix/OpenATV images.

On PLI you have to install the "EPG Cache Selector" plugin AFAIK
 
Cool, my EPG data is set to save to USB. I thought it may have been a different setting because of the use of the pvr_epg channel, rather than cross EPG. Thanks again

Does EPG Refresh Plugin work in standby, or turns the digibox on?
I ask as my digibox is set to turn the TV on using HDMI-CEC when it is on... I don't want EPG Refresh to turn my telly on in the early hours for 2 or 3 minutes.
