Hi Willy, just wanted to update you and thank you very much for your help with the above.  I have learnt a lot over the last 24 hours and I am pleased to advise that it is all up and running and I can now receive 7 days of Terrestrial EPG in New Zealand.

Thanks again and all the best,

Kevin

Hi Willy, I have given this a really good go, but I am stuck on finding the correct Channel List address format.  I am happy to keep trying, but would appreciate a bit of help.  My understanding is that the addresses are located on my VU+ Solo SE V2 in "etc" - "enigma2" - "lamedb" however the address's  appear to be missing the first half of the required data.

I have attached the "lamedb" file so you can see what I am referring to.  Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Regards, Kevin

Thanks Willy, it works brilliantly!

In case others want to use it, I'll list the steps I did to get it working as you quoted a folder that didn't exist, sorry Willy.
To get a full 7-day NZ epg working with your DVB-T tuner :

• Mount a USB stick in Fat32 format, to store your picons and epg data (this is encouraged by all STB forums for better performance).
• Install the XMLTV-Importer plugin if not already.
• Copy the attached files above as they are (ie. do not unzip .gz file) to "/etc/xmltvimport" (there is no "/etc/epgimport" folder).
• Go to Menu>Setup>System>EPG>Settings and ensure all EIT options are set to "no".
• Within the same window, select "EPG location" and click the left< or right> buttons to select "/media/usb/" then click "Ok".
• Open XMLTV-Importer plugin to configure, enabling "Daily automatic import" and set an appropriate "Automatic start time" when the STB is not in use. I also enabled it to "Start import after booting up".
• Press the blue button (Sources) and select "NZ DVB-T XMLTV" then click "Ok".
• Press the yellow button to do a "Manual" epg import, click "yes" in the following pop up window. Note that you should see the number of events immediately growing,
• Click "Ok" and "Exit" out of all windows to your tv screen.
• Click "EPG" to check that the data has populated successfully. If not, just reboot.
• Enjoy a full 7-day NZ epg!

All credit must go to Willy for responding to my call for help, cheers mate!

 

Hi George,

I am venturing down this same path for my TiVo replacement which is a VU+ Solo SE V2 with a Dual Terrestrial Tuner and have hit a brick wall with the EPG.  I have got as far as complete (7 day)  EPG content for 7 channels, but no EPG content for the ones I watch which are: TVNZ 1, TVNZ 2, Three, Prime, Maori & Duke.

I am guessing it is because Freeview changed the name and frequency of their channels and your files are relevant to around 2013.

So, you wouldn't by chance have an updated DVB-T_NZ.channels.xml.gz file would you?

Thanks, Kevin West.
