I don't mean to cause offence -just don't know what your previous reply meant then... you recently got rytec working, (to update the epg regularly?) but it doesn't work sometimes. Is this the case?

Is the satellite epg not "automatically" updated in Blackhole? Or are you talking about just DTT here?

one problem i have with blackhole is that summaries go missing from channel list.

No offence taken, yes that is the case . Maybe once a month I have to re power the box to get the EPG working . Also the sky feed downloads ok but does not populate the epg but bear in mind I'm on an older version of Blackhole.

stanley1 · 20-01-2012, 11:49

This happens if you view the channel - when you pop back out, the summaries no longer display, right?

(Just for viewed channels)

Who was it here who created a Cron to reboot every evening (actually I think maybe I did that too -must check later)?
Have you noticed an improvement?

(Latest VIX/ Nova T tuner here)

That was me, I think.

Not a huge improvement I'm afraid, if any. It's hard to say because it is such a random event.

I'm on a relatively old BH image, will probably update to Black Hole 1.7.1 soon in the hope that that will help.

It's a really strange problem, and something that I can't imagine is happening with as much frequency in Italy or even the UK. If it was, there would surely be a lot more noise on the forums about it?

Not sure to be honest, i'll have to check that.

Don't think I have this problem...when you say channel list, are talking about the list that pops up when you press CH+ button? Does it affect all channels? I have noticed that with BBC 3+4, the summary is often missing for the now & next program, but that's about it.

Amazed I never really noticed this before, but happening here too, though it only seems to be the combination of CoolTV guide + OpenTV EPG source. (ie DTT isn't affected, or Rytec sources, or OTA from eg 19e).
Also, the info is still there in BH Single EPG, and if you keep pressing EPG button in CoolTV, the info shows up eventually, but on the top line, not underneath, and only on Now&Next. Maybe one for the CoolTV dev to sort? Anyone speak German?

Stanley1, any luck with Vix?

stanley1 · 23-01-2012, 12:14

thats a first. i moved to blackhole as the VIX EPG was broken on VIX and never seemed to download correctly at night, not matter which source i used.

did you enable freesat epg in epg options ?
