hey guys how about posting up guide on how setting up the latest blackhole epg and configuring it to suit?

As per the following steps:-
1- Make a swap file : 2xBlue>Swap file settings (when done go to step 2)!
2- Blue>Red (EPG Settings)>Red (Global settings)!
- Enable Open Tv Epg Loader..........Yes.
- Path to save Epg File ............../media/usb/epg.dat
(Use RC <> buttons to change statues and make path)!
3- Red (save)!
4- Choose Epg Provider (like Sky. Italy,,,Rytec-CSAT), prese OK!
5- Press Yellow (download now)!
Wait till complete,,and repeat for other providers!

Now,,in order not to lose your epg data,,,
Do the following:-
1- Menu >BH Epg Back up (OK)!
2- Press Green for setup!
3- Enable Automatic Epg Backup.....Yes.
4- Path to save backup Epg file......Choose a path (I recommend : /media/usb)!
5- Red (save)!

If U have Vu+ Duo , install the script Free-Ram and Swap enforcer , in order not to over load the STB's RAM!

Have Fun w/BHImages!

I come back to your suggestion. If i download the EPG from opentv ( ex. Sky Uk ) I have the EPG.dat file on the usb.
If I must restart enigma2 the EPG is lost. With the Backup as you suggested via the restore option I can recover the EPG.
Is it possible to have an automated option that makes the restore of the EPG automatically with no need to restore every time ?

Have you tried with:
Menu
CrossEPG
Settings
Force EPG loading at startup = Yes

(My GUI language is not English, so actual menu items could be different from my translation)

Thanks is working.
When I take First the Opentv EPG with Blackhole function ( ex. Sky ) and after I take other EPGs with Cross EPG, then if I restart Enigma2 the EPG is reloaded.
When I take only the Opentv EPG with Blachole function (ex. Sky ) and I do not take other EPGs, by the restart of Enigma the EPG is loss and I must use the restore function from BH EPG Panel.

Have you checked if also in this case the EPG.dat file has been created on media/usb?
If not, there is nothing that could be reloaded at startup.

Youre right, I checked and after a scanning of BH EPG there is no file EPG.dat on media/usb.
But before I have checked the path on the BH EPG Panel.
Any suggestion ?

Why do we need a swap file? I have a Duo2 with loads of RAM. Will a swap file be beneficial? Will it protect my RAM?
Thanks
