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.

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.
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.
