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.
It should be stored on the network mount on your pc E.G /hdd/epg

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.

Hi, new to the forum and also new to the world of the Dreambox, having recently purchased a second-hand original DM500S.
I've followed the steps above but for come reason when I select SQlite Database in the EPG Store and select my mounted folder and save, it always reverts back to Enigma EPG. What am I doing wrong?.
Thanks
 
try the max var image in downloads has 24hr epg
 
Hi there,

Do we know if the max var image still supports epg for the db600? I notice the last post dates back to Nov 13?

Thanks
