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
The virgin EPG option is in the EPG Menu. It is called "Enable Virgin EPG"
Menu > Setup > System > EPG > Settings
EPG 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
