try adjusting EPG days under dreambox setting ( blue button )

If this is about the fact that by default you only see 'now' and 'next', that's how it default works. SKY uses a proprietary format to broadcast the EPG. There's a workaround using an import from Radiotimes, but you need SQLite for that, which requires external storage (that the DM500 doesn't have).

Use the search option, there has been a lot of posts about this subject.

thanks

There have been people who reported that they could get SQLite to work on a mount, but ymmv... I personally have mixed results with a cifs mount, but only over a wireless link...

i realy dont understand if it can get the current and next then why not it can have for more few hrs?

[WanWizard]

Because now/text is broadcasted using DVB standards, the EPG information is going to the SKY box in a proprietary format from OpenTV (from which SKY has licensed the software on the box). There are some efforts to work with the EPG information broadcasted for the freeview channels. For Enigma2 (7025/800/8000) this seems to work, but the code hasn't been backported to Enigma. And it being freeview, it is only a subset of the available SKY channels...

It depends on what you mean. If you just want to see more hours in the multi-epg view, press the 1,2,3,4,5,6 buttons. You can test this on the BBC.

I have the same problem on my DM7020: I view only the current and the next event with all the channels on SKY-IT.
Someone knows if is possibile to set EPG for SKY-IT?

[WanWizard]

SKY IT uses the same OpenTV system on the box. There are XMLTV grabbers available on the internet, and I know there is a dreambox plugin that can grab EPG info from the SKY-IT transponder. I've tried it once, but can't remember now where I got it from...

[AlexC]

If you remember please tell me because I'm not able to find it. The tools I tried don't work good and are not integrated with PLI EPG.

[WanWizard]

I think it is called OpenEPG, google for it. I believe the latest version I've seen is v1.1.

You have to configure it with the SKY-IT transponder, the plugin will zap to that transponder at a set time to retrieve the EPG info. I don't have a subscription, so at the time I only checked if it worked.
