DM600 EPG

[treknology]

Hi,
I have tried two images - Darkstar2_DM600.nfi and pli-jade-dm600pvr-20081001-5635.nfi
On both images the EPG only shows now/next for Sky UK channels

I have installed MV 3.5.2 and the Dreambox EPG configuration is set for 7 days

Is it possible to get a full 7 days epg on these images
Thanks

On the Pli image you need to load the Sql plugin and than configure the radio time epg to download the epg everday.

On my Dreambox System settings
EPG SQL Lite database
Directory /media/hdd
Number of EPG days 11
Enabled MHW EPG
No size limit

oppps caught the wrong button....

On my Dreambox System settings
EPG SQL Lite database
Directory /media/hdd
Number of EPG days 9
Enabled MHW EPG
No size limit
Enable dish/bev eepg

Plugin Menu
Dreambox EPG Config Radio Times
set for 9 days

When I retrieve the display shows ... Retrieving file 1 of 1

Go to ITV1 channel from all services.
Press red button twice
Multi EPG still shows Now/Next only

I have tried rebooting the dreambox, rescanning channels and retrieving the epg data again......
Still no joy

Am I being a complete plank or am I missing something out??

Not my work but taken from another forum;

Radio Times epg how 2 for Dreambox 600 pvr

This guide is for Pli@ images tested on iolite, probably be ok for Gemini etc.. with slight mod.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1st you need hdd installed to store epg data!!

2nd your box connected to the internet !! (doesn?€™t have to b all the time, just for downloading epg data etc..)

3rd ftp program to upload files. (only in setting up)

4th setup your bouquets favourites etc?€?(prob have done this already)

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok set epg to SQLite EPG database go to system settings either (menu, setup, system settings, EPG) or (blue button, dreambox settings, system settings, EPG)

In EPG

Set epg data store: to SQLite database

Set epg location: to Internal harddisk

Epg directory should say /media/hdd

Set epg days to 7 (just example u can change 2 whatever latter)

Press green button to save.
Exit

---------------------------------------------------------------------

now go to downloads (blue button, software management, downloads, addons/plugins, Digital+ EPG grabber or Dreambox EPG plugin. (whichever is available to u))

check the download is ok ?€? (yellow button, plugins, dreambox epg config)

in the config.. package will probably say Digital+ and when dropped down Wolf_nl, & possibly Radio Times as well?€? we?€™ll come back to this

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Ftp go to directory /etc/tuxbox/dbepg copy Digitsl+.cfg or whatever .cfg files are there 2 a place on your pc (just for backup)

Then delete them from your box.

Download the attachment Radiotimes.zip & unpack the files (rt_uk.cfg rt_uk.sh)

Now ftp the attached file rt_uk.cfg to /etc/tuxbox/dbepg
Now ftp the other file rt_uk.sh to /var/bin

Exit ftp

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Now in tv mode select your Bouquet you want times epg 4
Select a channel (any one as long as your in the bouquet)


Now back to dreambox epg config (yellow button, plugins, dreambox epg config)

in the config.. package it should only say Radiotimes UK now as you got rid of the other crap ha ha

set time offset to 0 hours

number day 7

Cron options (will check this setup in a min)
Check use cron if you want your box to automatically get epg at time 6:00 (can set it 2 whatever time u want)

Press green button channels:-

On the left side you should have the radiotimes channel list, on the right your bouquet channels.

From the left scroll down to ie?€? bbc 1 select ?€? highlite will b a box now & on the right the highlite will appear at the top scroll down to match it with you bouquet channel
Continue till you have matched all your channels.

Then press green done. Exit

Back in epg config press yellow retrieve:-

Wait for the retrieving to finish press blue done. And exit menu back to tv

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Press red button & hey presto radiotimes epg!! Exit now last bit cron

go to system settings either (menu, setup, system settings) or (blue button, dreambox settings, system settings)

then services to run check start cron press green button. Exit back to tv now all done
thank f**k remember you can change number of days & time to automatically update etc
or you can just retrieve when u want.

I have this working on a Dm500s but its a bit sluggish ,the epg tends to lock up a good bit .
Does it work smoothly on a 600s,it has more memory and the HDD is internal instead of being mounted on a pc.
I'd consider getting a 600s if it works well.

[smirnoff_rules]

any others for doing this ? this is off line but is there any upto date ones please

[girovend]

I had it running great on my dm600 when it had a cable tuner,
but never got it to work when I changed over to sat, I
eventually just gave up on it,
but I'll keep an eye on this thread just in case
