The EPG on my Fortec Star FS4400 is urm...cr*p. Most of the channels are blank, by which i mean that although the channels work fine, the EPG does not show any of the programmes, so i have no idea what's playing or coming up.

Using the PR+/- (while not on the EPG) to go up and down the channels is better is it shows what's on and upcoming, (but not on every channel).

What are my options to have a better, more complete EPG experience?

Thanks.

You are not alone, most satellite receivers will give you whats on now and whats on next, unless you get a Sky or Freesat receiver that has the relevant s/w installed and is liscensed for that particular receiver.

Yep, a Freesat receiver would be the best option, or a copy of the TVTimes.

Got a Goodman HD Freesat box. Perfect!

Thanks again.
