It sounds like you have crossepg settings on flash memory rather than hdd or usb. In configure it should be on media/hdd or media/usb depending on what you have attached. Do you have it set for scheduled download? Go and check your crossepg settings.

If you are saving to USB or HDD and it's configured properly, then delete the contents of the /media/usb/crossepg or /media/hdd/crossepg/ folder, reboot the box and run the downloader again.

you would first need to place enigma into sleep mode with a telnet session as EPG data is held in live memory., so when you reboot the box it will just rewrite the corrupted data back to the storage media.

Not using CrossEPG in Blackhole it doesn't, done it 3 or 4 times over the last couple of Years. Try it and see, the Crossepg folder is still empty after the reboot.

image makes no difference what so ever here, EPG data is held in live memory same as bouquets data on ALL images.
