[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 634399, member: 323322"] Depends upon your needs: Freesat (and BSkyB) EPG contains 7 days programme information and can be utilised for associated HDRs to render recording simple along with such features as Series Linking. The EPG Data is sent from a dedicated stream on the relevant Default Transponder. Generic Boxes only display the Data provided by each Channel (or group of Channels) so does not populate until a Channel (or a member of its group) is selected. For UK Channels, the maximum amount of Programme Info is "Now and Next". Some Channels, particularly German ones, do transmit rather more, but some don't send any at all. As I don't have an HDR/PVR, and I do take a Daily Newspaper, I'm happy with either type of EPG. Personal preference. [/QUOTE]
