The epg on the Blade is backed up to your attached USB storage when you power off.
I know a lot of people have problems but I've found the epg on the Blade completely fine. You just need to find out the right way to use it.

Open source have a better facility to share from.

Been using Blade now for a few months after using tm500, dm500 and dm800.
I spent a lot of time programming these units until I got the blade so easy to use comes on in less than 10 seconds screen layout and easy of use is second to none. as for streaming from my pc to blade dead easy
PS EPG works great as does the recording SD and HD channels.
Also Blade have left me upload my channel list to their site 28.2 UK&IRELAND
Great support from them
