* How to erase all epg in your box
Install Systemtools.
As I said, I installed it but it does not appear anywhere.
One of the options is erase epg.
The second method is the manual one. I use the program DCC to do this but you also can use Putty or even a simple Telnet session in Windows.
So, let's do this second method :
Open a Telnet session to the IP address of your satellite receiver (in most cases Dreambox or Vu).
Yeah, 192.168.178.35
When you are prompted you can type behind the prompt #
init 4
That's OK
(This will stop Enigma of working and if you were watching TV it will freeze.)
What I do extra is open a FTP session (in DCC you can switch easy to this) and then go to /tmp and see if there is maybe a file epg.dat
No, there is no such file there
, remove it and then go also to /media/hdd if you have a harddisk installed in your receiver and also check if maybe a fil epg.dat is there and remove it
OK, there we have one dated April 1st 17h06
. Check also /media/usb
(This step is not always needed but I do it and it does not take a lot of time)
There aren't any usb devices connected
Erase also the Crossepg database. It is usually on your HDD in a folder Crossepg.
It has a .db extension. This is needed because Crossepg stores EPG in this database, and they stay there until it expires, or you delete the database.
If you do not erase this database Crossepg will load the faulty EPG over and over.
Problem is that faulty EPG is not overwritten by the good EPG. It is only overwritten if the starttime is exactly the same.
I don't have crossepg. I don't like it.
Now go back to the Telnet session and behind the prompt type #
init 3
(This will start Enigma again and after a while you will notice the screen will play again (if you were watching TV).
OK so far
After this the EPG listings should be empty or only show Now/Next in the infobar, depending on how you have setup the EIT and EPG settings in the system menu.
(keep in mind if you have enabled MHW, EIT, etc then EPG listings will not be empty if you zap to those channels)
So, EPG is gone. Manual import is on its way. So, it's now done and OK
I have deleted the epg.dat file earlier but without init 4 and init 3. Is there a reason why it's so important?
