Hi and welcome to Techwatch

epg on a starview is not too good at the best of times.
you will only get channels that are broadcasted by V****n, to get the foreign channels that you are referring to you will need a (probably motorised) satellite system.

I don't know if it still applys, but you may need to have made five posts to 'pm'.
