Tonight guys rather than wrecking my brain with the channels.uk file and how to get the required parameters for the channels i thought I would check out the alternatives.
Someone on the forum said that Crossepg worked well so I thought i woud give it a go. And I am pleased to report that it does a really good job. First thing i did on my Nabilo image was to disable the built-in OpenTv Epg loader, as they both use the same channels to grab the epg so I didnt want them both running.
So to install it FTP the enigma2-plugin-extensions-crossepg_0.3.2-svn-33-gp4.4rev.5_mipsel to your tmp folder. Then goto Manual Install Ipk packages (Green then Yellow on Nabilo) run the install and when its finished restart enigma2. Next replace file /usr/bin/enigma2.sh with the one I have uploaded. Now when you goto the Nabilosat Green Panel you will have CrossEPG listed in the plugins. But before you use it you need to configure it. You do this from Main Menu/Setup/CrossEPG. From this set it up for your own requirements. When done hit the green OK button to save your settings. You can also run an instant scan from the extras (blue button)
Now you will have a full Week EPG for Sky UK. It will also grab Sky Italy if you set it to do this. I suppose you could just disable the Sky Uk part of the Nabilosat OpenTv Epg loader and allow it to grab the others as it seems to work fine for all the others just not the UK channels.
First time I have seen a fully populated 7 day Epg
*******************UPDATE********************
Tried it againg today to show the Mrs, as this was her gripe with the dreambox and its no longer working so ignore the above till futrther notice. Wonder why it worked this first time and now refuses?
