Question 7-days EPG in SilverCrest SL65/12 Camping Kit

Hi all,
I have a EPG in SilverCrest SL65/12 Camping Kit which works quite OK in Holland with Astra 28.2E satellite (most of the free-view UK channels + a few more).
BBC channel shows:
- Signal Strength : 91-94
- Signal Quality: 71-76
It is not patched.

The only problem (if you can call it so) is EPG:
when you choose EPG option from the remote, only the current programme details are shown, even details of the next programme are not available. I guess there should be something like on free-view boxes - 7 days EPG. Am I correct? If so, could anyone help me to get a proper 7 days EPG /programme?

Thank you all in advance for your valuable advice!

You can't have one I'm afraid. To get a 'proper' EPG, you will need a Freesat Box. Argos do them for about £50.

Thank you for the reply but page 20 of the Manual says: "Electronic Programme Guide (up to 14 days in advance, channel-dependent)." Therefore this function is supposed to work - at least on the UK channels which I watch.

Can anybody share their experience, please? Thank you!

No, this means that the function is supposed to works on the channels which allow it to work. Hence the note "channel-dependent"...

Yes, I understand this. Therefore I said I watch UK channels and this function does not work even on BBC or ITV bunch of channels. And on freeview it worked...
Does anyone have EPG working as it is supposed /advertised to work?
