Here you go peeps, complete with screenshots, full setup procedure, button mapping and explanations

play with it for half hour, get used to it, and once you have the hang of switching and zapping, youll always use it

Great guide Digi m8

The poor epg has always put my off buying one of these for the spare room, I might actually consider buying one of these now

 

[digidude]

ive been saying for ages id make a guide to using it lol, if you look at the screen shots, yep, i was awake at 4am making it

 

[Rumpelstiltskin.]

Starts 1 hr in front on epg for me. At 10 am I could only get the next prog at 11am? Wont show current prog?

 

[ToneDeff]

weeekepg 3.3 does that for me aswell but 3.2 is fine.

 

[Rumpelstiltskin.]

Thanks mate, have gone back to 3.2b

 

[digidude]

i hadnt noticed this, as far as i know, 3.3 sorts out some issue with a recording crossing midnight

but 3.2b can also be downloaded in the same way via the blue panel, and is setup the same way

 

[crazydiamond]

great guide but when i go to log epg it says titles found 0, summaries found 0 any ideas?
i am in spain, do i set up different?

 

[ToneDeff]

have you got it set on "uk" and the "hip hop" radio channel from 28e

I too have been having issues with weekepg, tho I got it 99% set just like digi's.
Thanks to digi's guide I've realised my problem, no hip hop ..... when I imported Tone's UK channel I removed all the radio channels as I didn't think I needed them as I never use them ...doh back into DBEdit for me, lol


Thanks for the work

have checked all settings and all is correct but noticed that i do not get any signal from hip hop this maybe because im in spain, although i do have 1.9 dish?
any suggestions??

 

[riverrat]

having issules with this, i get 94706 titles found and my tm 500 just reboots itself after a few mins

when i press yellow warns me , out of date??

 

[ToneDeff]

it's probably using up all the space on TM500 internal memory when trying to download descriptions.

 

[riverrat]

well it did slow down the box big time, so removed it

i've noticed a problem with 3.2b, when it gets to midgnight and time in Enigma is anything starting 00: , then it won't show the current program in EPG list just shows from 1am or nearest after that.

not tested in 3.3b that might of been what got fixed.

 

[ToneDeff]

just realised you can use any channel from the same transponder as "Hip Hop" i've changed mine to "Chillout" as i get some music from that when updating :banana:

not sure if "Hip Hop" has audio certain times of day never noticed it ?

hey guys,
do you have to download the epg data every week?

and also is it not possible to see what is on all of the channels at the same time like you would be able to on sky?

 

[ToneDeff]

hey guys,

seems to be the only way.

and also is it not possible to see what is on all of the channels at the same time like you would be able to on sky?

no, only changes you can make on EPG list are font sizes.

 

[CrazyFool]

alright cheers pal.
do sqlite allow you to do any of those things?
i heard there was a way to port it over to the tm's

Cheers,
Crazy
