Freesat EPG on DM800-HD Nabilosat 12 clone

[digsatman]

How do I get the Freesat EPG on my DM800HD - the EPG info seems to be from the Sky EPG as it incorrectly lists programmes for ITV HD that are not being broadcast in HD.

If I don't get the Sky EPG from "Hip Hop", then I can only see the "Now and Next".

Is there a way to get the Freesat EPG "Off Air" in a similar way to the Sky EPG or, alternatively, can I get XMLTV data from the Radiotimes website and combine it with the Sky EPG in some way.

Please excuse my "newbie-ness" with Dreambox. I have long experience of other sat systems both standalone and PC based stretching back to pure analogue at 19E and digital with the Nokia "dreambox". I am hoping to get as much of the functionality working on the DM800HD as possible.

Many thanks in anticipation of some useful help!

Well ITV1 HD is a service rather than a channel. From what I gather the HD content is normally accessed via the 'red' button on Freesat when HD content is available. I have ITV1 HD on my Topfield, but there's probably on 2 programmess per day that are transmitted in HD, therefore during the rest of the time I get "This program is not available" (or similar) displayed most of the day.

That probably explains why you get lists in the EPG for programs that are not being broadcast in HD. They are being broadcast in SD on the ITV1 channel. The rest of your query I can't help you with, but I'm sure someone will.
