The Box PVR EPG trick - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

Hi everyone.

Apologies if this has been posted before but just thought it may be a useful first post:

I have found that if I put my Starview PVR Box on a channel named DL 2100 Samsung G1 (it appears directly after Current TV in the default channel list), then the EPG populates very quickly and has 2 to 3 days guide for all channels.

Has anyone else tried this? I am pure NTL area 5401.

I can't find any channel starting DL 2100. There are a few DL Samsung channels however.

Found DL Samsung 2100 but this doesn't do it. My EPG is updated to 6am tomorrow morning and no further.

do it on the V central channel, updates quickly, and full 3 day EPG, just switch off box and redo it every couple of days.

How do you get into the default channel, and then the DL 2100, Iv tried going througth . All channels route, am I looking in the wrong place?
