Hi mate, i also retrieved 3 days but the file i get is 6.16MB. This is on a dm500 saving to network mount, using radiotimes as rytec does not work in a 500 with network mount.( does retrieve but holes all over)
Here is how i do it.
The internal memory of all enigma1 boxes is too small for an extended EPG store.
Therefore is it necessarily to store to Sqlite database to a hard disk, USB stick or CF
card. The hard drive could be a mounted network drive. Use a CIFS mount, no NFS
mount.
In Pli Jade3 SQlite is installed. But not activated
Activiation:
•
Blue button:
•
System properties.
•
EPG
•
EPG store: select SQlite Choose a place for the database on the network mount.
Next install the SQlite EPG download plugin:
•
blue button
•
Software
•
download.
Start the Dreambox EPG Config via the Yellow button, select Dreambox EPG Config.
The next screen appears:
Select Package: Radio Times
Press the blue button to see the channels ,you have to map them by linking them to each other in the left and right boxes,this can be a pain but you only need to do it once.Once your done green button to save,then select the following.
Time Offset: 0
Number of day: your choice but i find it best at 2 days
Use Cron: X
Update at: Select a time that the update is wanted.
Press Retrieve (Yellow button). A retrieve will be between 5 and 10 minutes.
There is a more detailed guide on the pli wiki page,but folow this and you should be ok.

no need for all that just use temp folder.
epg is great no holes anywhere m8.

That is the only downside m8,
but just do what I do ftp in to the /tmp folder and download the epg.db to your pc,
then if necessary you can ftp it back over

so what if ya reboot and the data is lost... its a working epg on a 500...... it only takes a few minutes to re-download the epg data, and makes it possible to not to mount a network drive, set it to download automatically everyday for 2 days worth, just change time from 6am, to say 11 am, more chance of the radio times file been live i reckon.

into menu and softwre management and you will see it there.
Sorry, but I don't have a software management option within the menu. I've gone through it several times. Looking around on the net I found the offcial site for the EPG plug-in and found the xml but not the SQLite. (sorry - I'm on another PC so can't post the URL).
Thanks.
Thanks.
press blue
software management (or maybe software setup)
then press download new menu.
