    Edit this file on the PC (you need to ftp it): (metapad or unix editor in windows like Uedit)
    epgdat_importer.py



    On line 11 change the storage place for the epg
    tmppath = '/tmp' to tmppath = '/media/hdd' or tmppath = 'media/sda1' for usb pen



    Ftp it back to where you got it from



    Go back to the top level directory and go into /etc, create a folder called epgimport



    ie,
    /etc/epgimport



    Now copy these files to that directory
    rytec.sources.xml
    rytec.channels.xml



    Now reboot your box/stb !!!



    Goto Your Plugins and find EPGImport



    Launch the plugin



    Goto Sources by pressing the BLUE button



    Choose the EPG's you wish to load by pressing OK on them. Then Press the GREEN button to keep the changes.



    The EPG will now load daily at 5.45am.



    You can manually load it now by pressing the YELLOW button as shown below:



    Press OK on YES on the first screen



    You cannot do anything now until the IMPORT is finished , This ONLY happens on maual import. The automatic import runs in the background.



    A couple of screenshots showing it working




    If you press EPG on the TV Channel , Ie no menu displayed or only the info bar you will get this screen below.
