I recently got this running with a Compro E700 and I cannot for the life of me get the bloody listings to fully download. Some channels will have full listings, but most dont.

I have gone in to the settings to check Add listings to channel and every channel has it enabled already.

It just says no data available in the Guide, and it is downloading correctly. Im stumped :(

Any ideas?
 
You're tuned to the wrong channels for the transmitter you told it you were using (yes i know the STILL can't get it right)

eg, when you tune the system it picks the first one it detects for each named channel (so if you pick up more than one transmitter but the powerful one is at the top end of the range you'll never use it) and then based on what location you chose it downloads the guide listings and matches them to the channel based on MUX freqency and name.

So it has downloaded all the listings but since some of the mux listings and names don't match it doesnt work.

You have to find which transmitter you want to use, find the mux frequencies then edit the channel list to only show you the correct channels, then you can add listings to each of those.

Absolute pain in the arse it's a simple thing to get right - simply get the data from each transmitter for which channels to show by default (which they already have for the guide) , or better yet, only show strongest signal channels.
 
Ok, so Ive rescanned and set my transmitter to the Rowridge antenna in the media center setup. It scans them all fine, but only certain frequencies get the epg data still.

Ive checked the guide settings, and according to this http://www.ukfree.tv/txdetail.php?a=SZ447865 - ITV is on the correct frequency, 530. Yet I recieve no epg for it. Am I doing this wrong? :(
 
When you selcted to use the epg in the set up wizard did you get a choice of epg's or regions? If so, maybe try another one of those?
