Would this work on openvix hades images for gigablue, I have know idea if it has the EPG patch by Lraizer
-
you dont need the epg refresh now
new images have the cable epg in them it just needs switching on in the epg settings
then go to pvr_epg and the guide will populate, just set a null recording up every night

Thanks Pauldb, can you tell me where this setting is in openvix hades

The virgin EPG option is in the EPG Menu. It is called "Enable Virgin EPG"
Menu > Setup > System > EPG > SettingsEPG refresh plugin never enabled cable EPG. it is just a zapper with extra options. If you want to use it, you have to install it from the plugin menu. On recent OpenATV and Vix images it will now show up in the EPG menu. In other images, it will show up in the plugin menu. You can use it or record as suggested.
The Virgin EPG patch by Lraizer was incorproated into PLI and OE-A teams last July (IIRC). Blackhole incorporated it in 2.16. From Hades 012, Virgin EPG is on by default too.
Additionally, any channel on the same transponder will have the data too, it does not have to be the PVR epg channel. E.g Virgin ID, Virgin Media Previews, Virgin Movies Preview, VTV Music On Demand

sorry to bump an old thread
i am having issues on my vu duo2 and have a feeling it is due to epg refresh causing it so have removed it for now
will a null recording give me loads of recordings that would need removing all the time if not how do i go about setting this up
at the moment i have set up a daily timer to zap to channel 100 (vm previews) and it turns off after 3 min only downside to this is it boots the bot up for 3 mins at 2am each morning, will this cause an issue with the box or as i guess safe to do -
You can set a timer to zap to channel. that will achieve same thing.

There is a question mark at the end of your sentence. What are you asking? -
sorry abu on epg refresh it was set to use pvr epg channel i have set a timer to zap to channel 100 is this ok and will it do the same as the pvr epg channel
-
Yes it is fine. (As mentioned in post 5, any channel on the same transponder will work)
You can check what scannned channels are on a transponder by the following: Open Channel list > (green) Satellites > Current Transponder

Followed the guide and setup PVR EPG as channel but when manually running this is zapping to PVR_EPG channel for two mins then to BBC Two for 2 mins then to channel 4 for 2 minutes sky for 2 minutes and so on. I thought it zapped to only PVR_EGP and then used that to obtain EPG for all channels.

think I fixed it, looks like I left a setting under bouquets
