    EPG FOR 7 DAYS

    does any openbox come with any firmware or a box that has epg for 7days or even for a day? anyone no a trusted seller, or can you buy one online and just put on the image and firmware yourself?

    No 7day EPG on any Openbox/Skybox you would have to invest in something a little bit better for that, unless you have a local supplier then most users buy theirs from ebay

      Do you know why they don't have 7 day EPG if other manufacturers do? Skyboxes specs do state 7 day EPG.

      Is it related to Sly (ie other satellite channel providers do support 7 day EPG) or just that the other manufacturers have a work-around of some kind to get 7 day EPG?

        Openbox/Skybox 7 day EPG does work with some providers on other Satellites, like 19.2e ... More expensive receivers have a workaround for providing a full epg on 28.2e, they download an EPG onto the box.

          Presumably the epg data for the workaround is obtained from the internet rather than sat provider?

              No most times its patched with the firmware like the TM5402 and Blade 7000 they can retrieve the 7 day EPG form the main data transponder stream the exact same as a Linux Enigma2 receiver but these also have an option to download from an online EPG server.

              I would imagine all it takes is for someone who writes the Firmware for the Openbox/Skybox is to implement it into the next firmware upgrade

                I would like 7 day but dont think i'd make full use of the 7 day that often to justify the nearly ?100 extra.

                          Do you think if enough people contacted the creators of the F3 to add online EPG to the firmware, would they listen?

                            There is no harm in trying it already pulls the EPG stream from other satellites such as 19.2? & 13? east so may be worth a shot.

                              Well they are doing updates, uk market is a big one I guess but being able to pull in a web based epg would mean that any country would be able to point it at a epg to suit them, though could be a bitch to code I guess.
