    Either Crossepg or EPGimport can do what you want via the Rytec downloads, Just be careful as your running a Vu solo with it only having a very low power CPU asking it to download quite a few different EPG's could end up with errors, I would suggest you try with just 28.2 east and 19.2 east as a start see how the vu handles the download and then gradually increase the downloads 1 at a time until you think it may be at its maximum.

    Just for info if you are on 19.2 east and leave the Vu on one of the Sky Germany channels the EPG will populate fully over a couple of minutes itself

    The EPG from the German Bouquet will stay in ram until you either switch off or reboot or move to another satellite, the more permanent solution would be the rytec download

    cheers that starts, downloading them but even 28 wont download, always gets stuck on parsing, not sure if my box needs a full reset read something about a swap file for older boxes and downloads, not sure what it all meant though haha

    What box exactly are you using I know you use vix so where are you downloading the epg to media/hdd or media/usb or internal flash.
    Check menu>set up>system>epg>settings>epg location press left or right on d pad to change location as this should not be set to internal flash as it will fill up and create problems. So use whatever you have fitted usb or hdd whatever you have mounted to box. hth

    You would certainly have to use a swap file with a Vu Solo it does not have the grunt factor to deal with all the extra processing on the EPG side

    personally i just think your wasting your time the Vu Solo just does not have the processor power to handle multiple downloads as well as carry on doing its own main duty as a satellite reciever
