Freesat EPG UK

[ciccio]

I've just switched to Freesat, but th eEPG is a bit hit and miss.

I have tried both the DVB/STSC EPG source and the FREESAT source. It either cannot find any guide or has big gaps. This is even on Channel 4 and channel 5 . See attached image 

Anyone having this issue

What are you using as your EPG source? You only seem to be getting Now & Next which is the standard for DVB-S signal. If you want the full Freesat EPG data you need to select Freesat or XMLTV if you are using an external source for your EPG!

I had selected Freesat but i was getting minimum info. i am now using an xml file and this seems to have fixed it. Thanks

hi folks

i think i'm going to have to do the same and give up with freesat epg that worked in v4.

i have not looked at xmltv before, what does one need to make this work for the UK?
Thanks

Nothing is easier than using Schedules Direct, and least get the free trial and see what I mean.

The are certainly recommended most for North Americans because of our poor OTA but they are in many countries https://www.schedulesdirect.org/regions

I am in the UK (BBC South / ITV Meridian - Surrey/Hampshire) and use Schedules Direct with my HDHomeRun Quatro via antenna and it works fine, no issues for me at all.
