Extended Epg

Extended EPG, Here's How
As reported widely, the following process works well for Pansat. I have not tested for any other receiver!!



This is not a big deal, but I did notice the extended EPG is not working for more than approx 4 hours. This is because Charlie changed the EPG stream from the110 satellite to the119 satellite. This was reported last week by someone else when the MAP **** was turned off, so I’m not taking credit, just passing along this information. I assume this would be corrected, but apparently it was missed on this bin update. You can test this using the following method:

1. Tune receiver to 150 (speed channel) which is a 119 satellite channel (you can use any 119 satellite channel, you don’t need to use 150)
2. Go into antenna settings and change your DiSWqC switch setting for 110 satellite to same as 119 satellite (for example, if satellite 119 is DiSEqC #1 and satellite 110 is DiSEqC #2, temporarily change 110 satellite to DiSEqC to #1)
3. Turn the receiver off using the remote control power switch.
4. Turn the receiver back on using the remote control power switch. Say OK when the "loading EPG" screen comes up.
5. Wait for EPG to load and picture to come back.
6. Make sure your date and time is set correctly.
7. Press EPG button and you should have many hours of EPG.
8. Be sure to change the 110 satellite DiSEqC setting back to the original setting.

Not a big deal, just reporting the issue. You will need to do this every day if you want an extended EPG until the bin has been updated to look for the EPG stream on the119 satellite.
