Posted in the wrong section bud, you need to post in the enigma 2 section.

Moved to the general satellite thread and title updated with problem.

first course of action is to delete the old epg.dat file and then do a manual download of the epg again and see if that rectifies the problem

Next question as the H2 is a combo box, what have you got connected, satellite and cable or one or the other?

satellite and cable

satellite and cable

OK, Crossepg is only really for Satellite, for cable you need another EPG plugin, most people use EPGrefresh, you can get this from the plugin menu on your Zgemma. Right to get up Crossepg for Satellite do this;

Setting up CrossEPG for Satellite
1. Menu-system-EPG/Crossepg-OpenTVproviders – select ‘Sky openTV’ and green to save (go back into this menu again and ensure green tick next to that selection) Ensure all other providers are unticked
2. Menu-system-EPG/Crossepg-configure and ‘schedule download’ to ‘once a day’
3. Menu-system-EPG/Crossepg-configure and ‘schedule download at’ a time to suit yourself, mine is 14:30 as I turn my box off at night, if you leave yours in standby then 00:30
4. Menu-system-EPG/Crossepg-configure and ‘Download on tune’ to ‘Yes’
5. Menu-system-EPG/Crossepg-Download Now and let the epg update
6. Menu-system-EPG-settings ‘EPG Location’ scroll to ‘/media/hdd’
7. Menu-system-EPG-settings ‘Automatic save’ to Yes
8. Menu-system-EPG-settings ‘save every(HR)’ – 7
9. Menu-system-EPG-load/save/delete – save EPG

I don't have cable so can't help with setting that side up, but I'm sure if you asked the question on the Cable sub forum, a member will assist you with setting up EPGrefresh

As in the ITV channels have gone or the channels are present on the EPG but no synopsis is displayed, if possible can you post a screen shot?

[seamus dunne]

itv channels are no were

[martin035]

itv channels are no were

An EPG download won't cause channels to go missing, so something else made them vanish, but to get them back rescan your bouquets plugin, you'll either have autobouquetsmaker or autobouquets e2

[seamus dunne]

Done scan but still the same everything bar itv channels

[martin035]

Are you using whoosh' s build, which uses autobouquets E2?

If inot can you post screen shots of the following, to see

Hi sorry i dont know anything about what you are saying. I am a pensioner and not clued up to this stuff and to make matters worse i have hit the software update button by mistake and the whole thing has frozen. Lad i bought it from is ignoring my calls, great, I have the itv now but lost all the irish channels. Dont know what to sat to you

[martin035]

Well you didn't do to bad in following the instructions to get your EPG up and running, so don't knock yourself down, do some reading and research on these boxes and on autobouquetsmakers or autobouquets e2 (whichever plugin does your channels) and be brave you'll soon get those Irish channels back, good luck.
