I have a viewsat I have never had over 2 hours of EPG on dish or bev. I have understand it is supost to be a 7 day? I am going now to see if the receiver is set to only get 2 hours.....ok here is one setting...option's EPG hours----set to 24 I just hit "receive guide" we will see what that does..
ok I was on a DN sat wehen I hit receive guide....it got 24 hours of DN. I changed to bev hit receiver guide it gor the same dn no bev guide.....so what to do now?
Let me know if you guys get it to work. The most I've gotten out of it is 24 hours. I have loaded new SatInfo files, but have not been able to get it done! Or as Larry the Cable Guy would say "Get 'er done!"
Glad to see PRFRMNJ has the same thing...it was the same with the pansat as well. I worked on this problem for hours and hours on the pansat and never got it working eather so.....and yes I was based last time for asking about it
On bev it has always only had 2 hour and I have to go to a channel on it to get it all the time.
Just thought of this before the last bin (the one that mapped the locals ) Their was more option for more than 24 hours. Does your have a option for more than 24 hours?
Jay, The last time i checked up to 5 days EPG and it was still going and i have Viewsat Ultra, also You need sat 119 in the mix to get the 7 days.
- Try this, let me know if it work for you
Electronic Program Guide) Populating Info.. More EPG (Electronic Program Guide) Populating Info... Still see a little confusion about getting the GUIDE to fill. Getting questions like "why does Dish 119 info fill up, but Dish 110 doesn't"?
To get a 7-Day Guide on Dish 110 and 119, press the SAT button on your remote. Highlight "Dish Package" and press "OK". If you don't have both 110 and 119, then select the Dish Sat that you do have. Exit out of the menu and Press the Guide button. Press the "FIND" button while in the guide and leave it sit on that channel for a few minutes. The longer it sits, the more EPG will fill up, 7-Days max.
To get a 3-Day Guide on BEV, press the SAT button on your remote. Highlight "BEV package" If you don't have both both 82 and 91, then select the BEV Sat that you do have. Exit out of the menu and Press the Guide button. Press the "FIND" button while in the guide and leave it sit on that channel for a few minutes. The longer it sits, the more EPG will fill up, 2-3 Days max.
The EPG can NOT fill up if you've selected "All SAT" from the SAT LIST button. Also, it can not fill the BEV EPG while watching Dish and vice-versa...that is just NOT possible, because the EPG fills GUIDE data ONLY from the provider you are watching.
