  • Hi,


    I've been trying to get my epg's working with vu+ solo and blackhole 1.7.1. I'm using the *** / tring backup image from this forum which includes cooltvguide, crossepg and blackhole epg.


    I found this guide on here: How To Setup CrossEPG and Black Hole EPG Settings - which is great but I'm still having a few problems.


    Can someone please explain what these three things do? It sounds really stupid, I set up the blackhole epg and it worked (for a while), but where exactly does the crossepg come into it? I haven't even seen anything relating to cooltvguide except for in the blackhole green panel which has settings for it.


    Any info would be greatly appreciated.


    Thanks.

  • BlackHole epg and crossepg are both epg plugins, use one or the other, using both at the same time will cause a conflict sooner or later.


    I use crossepg with opentv providers which works perfect and updates itself everyday.


    Cooltvguide can be accessed from extensions menu, hold blue button for a few seconds.


    Excellent thanks. Sorry to keep leeching information out of you lol.


    How do I disable the bh epg? I don't see any options to remove it?

  • it is also recommended to kill enigma before deleting the epg.dat otherwise it will re-appear once rebooted as it is held in the live memory of the receiver while enigma is running.
    To do this start a telnet session and issue the init 4 command this will stop enigma on the receiver.
    now ftp into the receiver and delete the epg.dat file once done issue the init 3 to restart enigma, you can then issue a third command shutdown -r now this command will safely shutdown and reboot the receiver.

  • Thanks everyone, all working now.


    Just in case anyone else as clueless as myself stumbles upon this thread, I also wanted the little channel logo's in the channel info bar at the bottom - Picons, instructions and images:



    Now time to backup the image before I break anything
