I'm wondering if someone could point me towards setting up epg on my dm900 that I use to watch cband in the USA. I have never used any Epg before so where should I start? Thanks

Any way of using crossepg or something similar to populate a guide for the same channels normal US providers broadcast?
-
Am I the only one here with a dreambox trying to get an epg working for satellite In the usa?

CrossEPG downloader obtains EPG by two methods:
1.Signal stream for OpenTV EPG providers: Sky UK, Sky IT, Ausat 156E
2. Rytec data over the internet.
For internet methods, you are better off using EPG importer, don'tt use CrossEPG, the data is still the same.
Rytec team will only do European providers and definitely not IPTV. Someone else asked on PLI forum where the Rytec data uploader posts. The advice was that he should use webgrab++ and maintain the data.

Thanks for responding. I'm using cband not iptv. So far all the epg I see are for iptv. Can you suggest a plugin or link for non iptv Epg based on satellite? Thanks

Would someone please help me learn to extract my own working guide from zap2it? I was trying to learn from enigma2 but no more help there,
I'm stuck wondering which version of beautiful soup to install. Thanks
-
I'm interested in this as well. Does zap2it provide a downloadable form of their guide ? If not the site would have to be scraped, probably trivial for someone who can code python.
The second and more difficult part I think is mapping the listings to actual channels to make it functional.
-
Beuatiful soup does the scraping, and e-channelizer is what can be used to map the channel values. There are many versions of bsoup before I proceed I was wondering if someone knows which ver I should use.
-
It has to match your installed version of Python I think. I looked up Echannelizer it looks like a type of Dreambox Edit on steroids is that about right ?
-
My image doesnt grab bsoup from feeds so i need to manual install and i see many veesions, wish someone would confirm whether python must match.
Echanizer is somewhat like dedit but gives the maps of channels. I havent spent much time with it, but it does pull the channel list and shows the mapping pids all info. Are you trying to get your 800 going with epg?

Here is what python I have
Python 2.7.11 (default, Aug 2 2017, 17:22:27)
[GCC 5.3.0] on linux2
I cant seem to find any beautiful soup feeds from wget or opkg nor can I find an ipk to install beautifulsoup. Anyone here know?
Thanks

For enigma2 devices ?
First you need a source for the actual epg data that you require.
Then you need that data to be in XMLTV format.
That is then cross referenced to your channel names and satellite service reference ID's to marry the correct data with the correct TV channels.
We use epgimporter plugin on enigma2 devices.
So it is possible, but we need details of what device, and what channel and what data your trying to use.
