    Loaded the latest f/w this morning as per instructions regarding storing system data
    etc.
    Open TV epg loaded OK apart from missing out a complete day! (Thursday). Still playing
    about with it to see what other issues (if any) pop up.

    can you explain what you mean.

    you went to EPG, and then chose the OPEN EPG as opposed to MPHEG - mine just said "collecting epg data..."

    i think im missing a trick.

    My dish is fixed on 28deg E. I chose Open TV and selected the one page option which
    populated the six services on display.

    Using the epg, recordings are recording and , so far, playing back.

    Sky news. About one minute for each page of six channels. I´ve grouped my top used
    thirty channels together so that it takes about six minutes to populate them with
    the 7 day epg.

    LOL your missing the point mate. (or i am)

    the new firmware should eliminate the need for the plugin, its built in....

    or do you need the plugin AS WELL...if so that IS NOT CLEAR!!!!

    (maybe the new f/w uses the plugin when activated)

    i dont know

    As far as i can see the .65 f/w on this site has the OPEN TV epg whilst the .65 f/w
    on the Official ICECRYPT site has not. I left the plugin on the machine when I did
    the f/w upgrade. I only use the plugin for Mcas with a card.

    Hope this is a bit clearer.

    so which f/w are you using - this site, or official - also which plugin are u running the 22NOV one yeah?

    i tried that, and it still doesnt work.

    says briefly "tuning to EPG TP" then "collecting EPG data"
    and nothing more.

    This site. The plugin also runs on this f/w.
    1. Access EGG via blue EPG button.
    2.Access express epg via blue button.
    3.Select OPEN TV.
    4 Select òne page`.
    5 Sit in chair and watch "tuning to epg tp" followed by "collecting epg data" and the green progress line moving to the right. You will also see a line appearing under the
    name of the 6 channels that are being populated.
    6 When the population is complete the mini-screen in the corner will show the channel
    you are tuned to.

    All of this on 28deg E.

    Good luck.

    "Buck" what loader version are you running?
    I seem to be having an issue with the OpenTV EPG it works great just after a factory reset even after a system data recovery but after a few hours it seems to **** out.
    It loses all the previously collected info and refuses to populate(actually collect any info)any more.
    "ManikM" Try doing a factory reset and then a system data restore. You will see that the OpenTv EPG works after that but not for long. I need to find out why so I can get it sorted. That's the lump in this firmware release but we are getting there.....slowly.

    By the way all versions of firmware(here or anywhere else) are the same now.

    ICE,

    Loader L1. 21
    H/W version FS 9000.100
    Application version API Nov 2 2010
    Data version FDU v1.03

    I didn`t do any factory resets but did a system save followed by saving the system
    and service data to a USB.
    Then I loaded the new f/w from this site having left the plugin in place on the machine.
    Then I transfered the system and service data from the USB to the machine.
    The epg loaded without any trouble. It works OK using it for recording overnight and
    it was still OK in the morning. It disappears if the machine locks out for any reason
    either from standby or power on/off.

    I am only populating some thirty channels at any time on the machine.

    Hoe this helps

    No! It missed out today (Thursday) and merrily went on and filled in Friday to Wednesday.

    Apart from that, it`s nearly perfect!!
    Playing with ths machine is better than watching television (lol)

    I am testing the lastest beta update of OpenTV EPG Corrections and it seems to working OK at the moment.
    Even has Thursdays in it? and it has not hung up its boots after a few hours.
    Might actually be getting there at last but have I spoken to soon again????
    Only time will tell but its the best one so far.
    Keep your fingers crossed Guys
