icon5.png sky 28.2e automatically on epg
hello, I have just bought a vu+solo 2, Im new to linux But i am alittle confused to the epg. I have been messing around with my box for a few days now and cant seem to get the epg to automatically load into the favourites menu when epg button is pressed.

I hope i can explain what i am wanting but hear it is. My family uses the box on a day to day basis the only problem is they are not technically minded. So i am trying to set the box up as easy as possible. I have managed to do almost everything except this. I basically want the epg to bring up all sky channels but in number order.

so when my girlfriend presses epg on the remote it will come up onscreen with the sky channels in number order without needing to change the epg from all channels to favourites each time. just a simple epg with 101 bbc 1 to 998 sky channel.

Is there any way on setting this up.

thanks in advance.

You should setup your EPG box with Blue button -> Red Button and enable OpenTV system around 28.2E satellite.
The default store position for EPG data is HDD and you should have one installed to get the best from your box.

You should have enabled the sync-timer or tune "Hiphop" channel and the box should start the gathering of EPG infos from satellite.

The Hip Hop channel does not exist any more. The 7 day EPG data is on the following trasnponder: 11778 ,V, 27500. There is a channel called EPG Background Audio.

As an aside, are details available of the changes that were made to E2 to allow for openTV epg without having to depend on CrossEPG? Thanks in advance.
