Time to populate the EPG?
I'm at my parent's and their 9150 has failed to fully populate the EPG after 90 minutes. I can't see anything obviously wrong (I have a 9200 so sort of know what to look for) and I'm after some suggestions.
They live in North Wales (Llanddona transmitter) so have been through several re-tunes.
The box was tuned to BBC 1 but we were watching a recording.
When I first brought up the guide ITV 1, Five, FiveR, C4, More 4 were all empty. When I tuned to C4 it seemed to start populating Five and More 4.
I've also found that several recordings from ITV 1 and ITV 3 have overshot by a long time. Several recordings that should only have been an hour were several hours long.

First thing to try would be a reset to default settings. If that doesn't work then a manual tune to 43, 46, 50, 57,60 (assuming they receive from Llanndona and not via a relay).
Quickest is to turn onto BBC1 and leave for a while, I generally switch box on 30 minutes ahead of time needed and that seems to do the trick.
Which box, which software version?
I will consider a reset to defaults and manual tune. They don't have much marked for recording atm so now might be a good time.
Without doing this, the EPG will not fully complete even if left on for hours.
First noticed this when setting up recordings over Christmas/New Year.
Have done default reset & manual tune.
If the new software doesn't fix this, I think it'll be ending up on Ebay. Surely a good EPG is a basic requirement of a good PVR?!
So that took between two and two and a half hours.
I've emailed ITV but it's probably not their fault and I probably wouldn't get a sensible response if it was. Still - you have to try :rolleyes:
