Guide not updating
I've just hit 'guide' and it's been sat there for about 5 minutes now without having updated.
Is this happening with everyone or am I going to have to reset my box? |

^^^^ thats cured it.. IIRC the last time this happened was after a rogue auto freesat scan might I suggest doing a rescan not the factory reset first and seeing if that cures it and that way you won't have to go though changing all of your preferences or having to re-tune the non-freesat channels

I aborted the updating in the end, then clicked 'guide' again and it "updated" in about 2 seconds.
Have now clicked guide again it's just sitting there as before 'receiving programme information' without updating. Bizarre. |

Just done a rescan and it's working as it should, so that solves the problem.

Right I had the 2 second thing happening as well. I switched to Non-Freesat mode and Shorts TV (on the same transponder as the Freesat data) was off air. This was confirmed by my FTA box. A few minutes later whilst I was pondering what to do and looking out the window at the dish Shorts TV just re-appeared on its own. Pressing guide now and the box is just sitting there.
A number of other channels (such as Clubland TV which is on a different Transponder) were also missing at the same time as Shorts TV and those are back as well. Edit: Seems strange that a re-scan is needed. Again what happens if you are away from your box for a length of time (i.e. on holiday). More bugs rearing their ugly heads? |

If you do a freesat scan and after the scan press exit and choose not to save the results then it solves the problem and leaves your ITV HD schedules intact.

Barry over at hummy.org tested this last time it happened for a week if I remember rightly. It had no effect on scheduled recordings

But it's not the rescan that's the issue here though Graham it's the epg data not updating that would cause a problem with failed recordings or have I got the wrong end of the stick did Barry not allow his epg to refresh for a week?
Is this what Barry tested? |

You've hit the nail on the head. As long as the EPG data does update itself and the scheduled recordngs keep populating after the 8th day following the guide problems then it's not a big problem to re-scan it upon returning (from holiday for example).
Is this what Barry tested? http://www.hummy.org.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=5874 In a nutshell Barry did not do a freesat scan and although the epg appeared to stall it continued to update OK. A auto rescan terminated the test |
