Skybox F5s Recording

[martin035]

can I use the editor studio to copy the movies epg as well?

Yes, TBH I don't know whether sattv5's channel list has movie EPG data, as all I did was edit in the ITV HD channel to get the EPG for that channel.

Lads, this is my channel list, only problem is it's regionalized to Scotland ie channel 1 is BBC 1 Scotland HD and channel 3 is STV HD but channel 6 is ITV HD (useful for English FA Cup matches north of the border and for setting EPG recordings as STV HD has no EPG data) but I'm sure you can edit the Fav's (using the F5s itself) and get it to the region you want and have the ITV HD EPG as well.

Unless of course you want to watch an unbiased opinion on Scottish Independence daily

unrar and install like any other channel list.

Hi lads can anybody send me a link for a working EPG for my F5 sky box
please

Unfortunately, no 7 day Epg software has been released for the older " F " series of boxes. It's only available for the newer " S " series.

Got it working cheers.

Only thing is the epg doesn't work for Movies or ITV?

Using AJ Sat List btw

There is a known issue for the Epg data for the movie channels. A newly updated/downloaded epg file does not show the info for certain movie channels for the first day of download. Wait until the following day after the new download and the info should be present. Similarly, there is a known issue with the ITV HD Channels. They moved to a new TP on a newly launched replacement satellite a few weeks ago. Since then there has been no epg data on most if not all of the ITV HD channels including regional variants. The SD regional versions still have the data working properly.

Does this EPG work on f5 skybox and F5s please

I thought I made it clear in my earlier post but for clarification the 7 day epg is only for the F5S, F3S etc and is not available for the F5, F3, etc. Due to different hardware for instance you cannot use a F5S software on a F5 and vice versa.

If you go back to post number 36 of this thread I have posted a short tutorial of how to back up your files and how to upgrade.

If you want to have dual tuner functionality then you'll need to buy a dual tuner.

That's a tuner for terrestrial tv for a computer. You need to buy a different satellite receiver with 2 tuners and requiring 2 inputs from the lnb.

Haven't got a clue what I'm looking for so if you could post me a link to what exactly I'm looking for it would be greatly appreciated

It depends on how much you want to spend and how good you want the receiver to be but a vu+solo2 at ?289 is the preferred receiver for most.
