hi guys - got a vu+ultimo with cable tuner running latest blackhole image...how does the epg work with virgin media...i remember i saw virgin media in the xmltv provider but that seems to have dissapeared..currently boquets not showing anything...there doesnt seem to be any option to set up a VM epg from the cross epg setup menu..any ideas ? cherrs
 
same for me I was trying to update xmltv today will not work cross epg 8.1
 
I use epg refresh for cable epg, when installed go to edit services, new and select PVR_EPG
 
AFAIK, Blackhole have not yet implemented the Virgin EPG patch by @LraiZer. You cannot download off the stream.

The commit is here should you wish to nudge the Blackhole team

I thought it was in blackholes lastest image the same as the vix image, you might need to change image for the cable side
 
No cant See virgin media in the epg menu...may try bh 2.1.3 im sure it was in there
 
Not sure think its apollo 140
 
if your still struggling for the Crossepg providers then stick this file in : /usr/crossepg/providers then enable through the usual crossepg menu

Cross and xml problematic I just use direct from virgin feeds in epg setup and it works great! I noticed it works best when left on a pay channel fr a minute or 2 seems to populate the best.
 
anybody know if the virgin epg is working on vu+ box with blackhole image ?..i have the latest BH image but still no virgin epg working,,,i get nothing..lol, and before you say change image to vix the answer is NO i dont like vix images..hope the 2.1.6 release if and when it comes out by the BH team has implemented the cable patch....
 
download the EPGrefresh plugin from the feeds (That is if BH have it) and then set this up with the EPG channel in your list, If you dont have the EPG channel you will have to scan it in.

That won't do anything for him if the Virgin EPG patch has not been adopted by Blackhole. They've not responded to the thread on their forum.

The EPG refresh plugin is just a channel zapper. You can achieve the same result by setting a daily zap timer. Incidentally, any channel on the same transponder will achieve the same result.
 
I Knew the Refresh Plugin is just a channel zapper its similar to what you do on a lot of closed sourced receivers leave on EPG channel for a few minutes while it populates simples.

Also probably why i dont use Blackhole anymore either as i dont buy overpriced VU+ machines, Just a shame the BH team cannot get this sorted for its users
 
so what you guys saying is no epg then on blackhole image for virgin media ?..not even a now and next?..as something is better then nothing...if so how do i go about doing it...?..i posted a request on the vU blackhole forums but no one replied, perhaps twitter or facebook.
