If you want to use crossepg, even with that bug that makes restart takes ages, you need to install curl from telnet for crossepg be able to download.
Something like:
opkg update
opkg install curl
If you prefer Rytec EPG import install xmltv import from plugin feed, it additional install rytec sources needed for download.
Both have pros and cons, I've gone from crossepg to xmltv import and back to crossepg.
With crossepg you can download epg for a bunch of channels really fast (at least in a Duo2!), less wrong/bad epg events, more channels and no need for internet connection...
RESOLVED
Cheers Tony,
the "opkg install curl" resolved my issue.
