Anyway to have HD and 7 Day EPG (28.2 E)

[SuperPP]

As Humax have now turned off the Composite HD out function, my TV (no HDMI) can't get Freesat HD.

Was wondering if there's a linux box, which 'emulates' a 7 day EPG?

i cna get a 7 day EPG on my DM500s think it goes upto 14 day

But no HD dm800 is out now and that might be able too

 

[digidude]

the PLi image is available for the DM800, so the 14 day EPG should work on that

don`t think the dm800 will get 7 day epg on pli image, as it`s a modded 7025 image and it does not work on the 7025.

 

[telewestTUM]

is there anyway to use the signal sky send out to get EPG for 7 days or more if you have a box with a Hard Drive / Storage

I don't belive the epg has ever been stripped out off the data stream and made into anything useable. There was a few plugins thats claimed to do this but i never seen any of them work?

Sky epg data is OpenTv format and SiKinn is correct that its not been disassembled fully, so data format is not known. Mheg epg format for the Freesat channels is more known but secrets seem to remain with just a few groups that presently do not seem interested in dreambox development. That may change now that bbc/itv freesat are using Mheg.
Epg plugins for the dreambox tend to rely on rss internet based data for now.
