I'm in Athens, Greece and have followed all instructions and downloaded and installed successfully CrossEPG.

At first I activated and downloaded SkyUK OpenTV on 28.2, it scanned around 450 channels. Rebooted GUI and selected a channel on SKYUK, then pressed Info (EPG) and Yellow Button (Single EPG) . Nothing changed, still get now and next screenings.

I also did same with SkyItalia at 13.0, also downloaded from Rytec Greece XMLTV, again nothing.

Do I need to make and more changes to other menus (i.e. Blue Panel-->Settings-->EPG?? I did change place to media/hdd and Filename to epg.dat although same file is also copied to media/hdd/crossepg as ext.epg.dat. Also changed all other options like Media Highway, Freesat, FreetoAir,CacheFile to Open and Old Epg Data to 32 Hours and rebooted GUI, still no change.

I use Gemini with Enigma2 on my DM800HD.

i did not think you could use the sly uk version in greece,it can be used in uj and ireland ok,but would have thought you may need another provider nearer to you to give you your epg
and would think your timeline would be different also,are you on a fixed or motorised dish because if fixed many sats will be off-line to you.

Thanks for your reply. I do have a motorized dish and can access many satellites including Hotbird 13, Astra 19.2, Astra 28.2. When I downloaded OpenTV for SkyUK I had the satellite turned on 28.2.

I also tried and downloaded from XMLTV providers DevilCosta Nova Greek and Rytec Greece (both download information from their servers). The file ext.epg.dat on /media/hdd/crossepg (which is same after download finishes on /media/hdd named as epg.dat) has grown now to 9.8MB. It seems its keeping all the information from previous downloads as although I deleted it from both directories and downloaded again Nova Greek the size increased to 10.3! is this normal? And what happens if one channel is listed on two or more providers?
