V8UHD and lack of 7 day EPG

Post by Matin »

I have V8UHD for a few months and even with the latest firmware, there's no 7 day EPG available nor now/later EPG available on all channels! I have tried ALL european satellites and the result is the same!

Is there any plan to add EPG capability so that as soon as I'm tuning to a channel the data will be extracted. Also, EPG button on the remote only shows EPG in horizontal grid mode instead of the possibility to choose a channel and see the whole of upcoming programs.

I'm also have this issue and when press the epg button it goes to all Satellite mode by default but not showing the content info both in epg and osd.

I am also face the same issue in Dialog 45 east and airtel 108east That issue was happened from last 2 updates.
Initially it was working fine, hope it will be resolved by next update.

This bug was there from the beginning. I've raised it several times and provided files as well. This happens when you connect to multiple satellites. I think the problem is the box resets it's decoder time when we select channels. When the provider got changed automatically the time changes. Then EPG went for a toss.

I guess the technical team looking in to this issue to solve in next update we hope!

I have found issues with GMT time setting for EPG with my UHD unit.
If it is still yesterday in GMT (eg GMT 2200 while local time is next day 0600) and you have the time zone set for GMT+ then the EPG shows the now / next for a moment and then nothing.
If you set for GMT+0 it shows all, until midday.
Oddly my setting of GMT+0 is ignored at power on and time is shown as local time (GMT+12) and the EPG does not work until I change and back in the time menu.

I have reported this.
China would not see this as they are GMT+8 and with a 8am start it is already today GMT time.
I have let you know this as it may help for now.

Buenas tardes,

Que pesar que esta función aun siga con problemas, tengo el satélite amazonas 61w en sur américa y el EPG no funciona de forma adecuada, me pidieron datos y aun sigue sin funcionar.

Czy jest możliwość upublicznienia kodu źródłowego dla oprogramowania układowego dekodera v8UHD? To mogłoby mieć pozytywny wpływ na rozwój softu i pomogłoby w usunięciu wielu niedogodności, z którymi wasi inżynierowie sobie nie radzą.

Is it possible to make the source code for the v8UHD decoder firmware public? This could have a positive impact on the development of the software and would help to eliminate many inconveniences that your engineers are not coping with.
