Eurovox EPG errors?? - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Hi
Just wondered if anyone has a solution to the fact that the EPG on my vox seems to be knackered.
I flashed it with the relevant update and all seemed well, got the channels back instantly, but the EPG seems to be a bigger liar than vermin media's broadband speeds!!
Nothing seems to be showing when it is supposed to and when i scroll through the EPG in a bid to choose a prog (usually discovery or such like), its never what it is supposed to be
It becoming a major pain in the 4rs3.
Any help would be very much appreciated, its playing havoc with my PVR schedules.
Cheers in advance

Dave

hi m8, i put the new filmware on & the only problem i had waz the epg waz 1 hour ahead, so just changes on time setting, takes a while to update/did lose epg 1day so just unpluged, booted back up & waz fine. what filmware did you put on? otherwise, just buy a tv mag/ @least you got all channels back...lol

Is it just one hour out or completely wild?

If it is the former, you could try checking your time setting is definitely set on GMT +0 then just unplug for 30 seconds. I seem to recall having to do that one of the BST changeovers before the box would take and the EPG and time would synch together.

I've also noticed that the odd channel is sometimes just completely wrong anyway - usually this has been Discovery Turbo I think.

exact same thing here, my eurovox is an hour ahead to keep the epg correct lol. its confusing as i always seem to be an hour early for things lol

Dont know exactly how cockud up it is, so i'll have a quick nosey !!

WTF

im watching nat geo and its definately showing a documentary about Roswell, but according to the EPG "that's" not supposed to be on until 01.00, its now 00.47

Hang on i've had a thought!!

Nope, went into the settings and changed the clock, now its reading the time and showing GMT + 0
But its still showing the same details ...IE: what im watching shouldnt be on for another hour???

GOTTIT
When i flashed the box, i created a time machine!!!! All i need to do now is work out how to go forward a day and get the lottery numbers!.....KERCHING...
WHO WANT TO KNOW WHEN THE NEXT KEYROLL IS GONNA BE THEN???

AAARRRGGGHHH
just turned the tv on to sultana sports cos the EPG said Rangers were playing live @3pm (its for the missus, im a liverpool fan !!) AND ITS BLOODY HALF TIME

its not supposed to start for another hour and a half !!

ste_tails · 13-12-08, 03:53 PM

i have this trouble every time clocks go back
set your new time then save it
then unplug the box and plug it back in
usually lines the epg back up with the new time

Thanks to all who replied with suggestions, it seems to be sorted.

Cheers
