I've never seen it in action, I have no internet connection so, I only installed it to see how it worked and if I could download a file on a regular basis and load it to the Dreambox for the plugin to read. The developer said that this was not possible at present.

I've read Sly UK use OpenTV for their EPG. As yet nobody has developed a plugin that can read the data it transmits (As far as I know).

I'm hoping that someone develops a plugin that can handle the new Freesat platform EPG.

In the meantime I'm looking at alternatives using a combination of XMLTV, MV and a weekly download of an XML file,
