Strange OpenATV EPG behaviour on Formuler F1

    I have 3 bouquets defined on my Formuler F1: one with all Saorview channels, one with only Freesat channels, and a third with my own selection from the first two. The EPG just uses this third bouquet by default, but it occasionally 'forgets' either the Saorview or Freesat channels on this. The missing channel rows are blank and not selectable in the EPG, yet if I cycle through all the channels using the remote the missing channels can be viewed (this also populates the missing EPG info). Other times it just randomly picks either the Saorview or Freesat bouquet instead of the combined one. Both effects seems to happen, no pattern.

    Any ideas? OpenATV 6.1, all pretty standard. Not sure if the EPG SW can be updated on its own? It's an annoyance rather than a major issue, rather not do a full system update given the hastle this might cause.

    Saorview populates itself with ~7 days info once you select a channel. It should keep that info until it expires or is updated by using a Saorview channel again.
    If you are relying on the default Freesat EPG loader it can be quite slow and will only populate Freesat channels. Non-Freesat channels such as CH4 HD will not be included. If you are using the CrossEPG plugin (recommended) make sure it has Astra 28E selected in the openTV section and that it is configured to update daily. Also make sure it storing the data on your HDD not internal flash.

    Quick after-thought. If you haven't already done so, I strongly recommend you backup both your settings and a full image backup. MENU>SETUP>SOFTWARE MANAGEMENT>

    If you do decide to update software or do a complete re-flash, you can then restore your channel lists and timers etc from the backups. It only takes a few seconds to make and restore
