Good tip, I found it here: h**p://epg.evolution.project-x.us/

The EPG only works on a limited number of service providers but that includes Sky UK. My initial impression is that it is a very nice piece of software and useful for programming timer events on channels like the BBC.

There is nothing to it from what I can tell, except to install and configue the plugin and let it do its thing, thats it. What I mean is that I dont think there is much you can do wrong.

You might be better off asking the developer over on the dedicated EPG evolution forum.

Keep us posted

Have done a bit of reading up and found this-

Seems like alot channels is removed from the xml source
_http://www.bleb.org/tv/data/listings/0/
thats why epg missing on some channels..

Working Sky UK channel list:

BBC 1 London (English)
BBC 2 England (English)
BBC Four (English)
BBC News 24 (English)
BBC Parliament (English)
BBC Three (English)
CBBC Channel (English)
CBeebies (English)
Channel 4 (English)
Dave (English)
E4 (English)
Film4 (English)
Five (English)
Five US (English)
Ideal World (English)
More4 (English)
QVC (English)
Sky Sports News (English)
Sky Three (English)
TMF (English)
Virgin 1 (English)


So it seems only the above channels will work on this plugin

If anyone knows of a decent epg for sky uk plse post below as i thought this was the answer to what i was looking for but now i guess it isnt

I've been messing around with XMLTV and MV, XMLTV allows you to download tv listings in xml format. Theoretically you should be able to get MV to read the XML file, As yet I haven't managed to get it to do this, even after converting to .dat format. I havent spent a lot of time at it yet, If I get it working I will post the steps required.

If you find anything, please post back.

The PLI team have a plugin which does what you describe here. AFAIK it can only be downloaded from within the PLI image.

Otherwise maybe we can reconfigure EPG Evolution to pull its data from the RadioTimes website instead?

My System: Dreambox with PLi-Emerald 1.09 image, Matrix revolution CAS, newcamd emu, movable dish 0.85 m, very happy indeed

might not work on a DM500 because of lack of memory.
have you :
- activated the sqlite database in setup ?
- installed the epg plugin ?
- mapped all epg channels to your available channels ? (yellow button)
- activated cron in setup ?
- activated epg script to run with cron ? (also yellow button)
warning : enigma will crash if the sqlite database grows too big, so start with only a few channels and expand while everything keeps working.

My System: itgate 220 dreambox 8000 hd pc runnuing windows vista

i i have installed this and when it comes on to the epg view it doesnt give me any listings at all on any channels why is this it just says no programdata found.
it shows the correct time and date.
to install this i copied the extepg.cfg and the extepg.so files to /var/tuxbox/plugins i then rebooted the box. my box is connected to my wireless lan router and connects to the internet ok but i dont understand why the epg isnt working as it should thanks

I think it needs a bit more than just copying and rebooting !
you need to install the plugin from the PLi downloads menu, and then you need to configure it (select the scripts to run and map the corresponding channels). Only then will it work correctly.
it's all pretty straight-foreward really, but you need to execute all the necessary steps : PLi epg setup - cron - install plugin - configure plugin - wait for first run.

JTA is talking about a different thing altogether!

As far as my little knowledge can take me! EPG-Evolution works with a certain number of preset providers ... Otherwise you will just get "Programdata Not Found"

What JTA is talking about is how to get the normal EPG Gui that comes with your image to display the info. And in my case PLI, it works perfectly, but I do not like it, If I could fiddle with EPG-Evolution I would!
