EPG issues with 522 and L291

[JonBlack]

I hate E* software engineers right now!

This morning when I got up and started watching E* I tried to use the EPG. Well, it seems like it isn't updating properly. At first it wouldn't let me go past 1:00 PM today. After I rebooted several times it still wouldn't finally. I set to enable downloads at 10:00 AM hoping it would update. I guess it kind of did. I could now go past 1:00 PM but 90% of everything said "No Info Available". On the local channels it won't let me go past the hour. I tried disabling the updates, so when I powered off it woud update. Still nothing.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Well after about 50 reboots literally the EPG is working now.

I have the same problem. The EPG only shows info for the next hour. After that it says NO INFO AVAILABLE. Rebooting hasen't helped. This just started when I received the 2.91 upgrade.

My EPG was working as of last night. I'll have to check this evening to see if new info has been downloaded. I don't know when 2.91 was released but this was the first time I had this issue that I'm aware of. My wife uses the 522 more than me and if the EPG was messing up I'd hear about it.

Everything A-OK here.

My EPG is populated to Feb 14 @ 11:30 PM as of 2:11 PM today Feb 6.

You can force an update to EPG by doing a check switch test from the point dish menu. This might fix the missing guide information.

I'm still at version version 2.55, at least I was last night. Don't know if it updated overnight or not.

That might of been what happened to me. I did run a couple of check switches towards the end of my rebooting.

In case you can't tell I hate calling E* tech support.

You can also force an EPG upload by unplugging the receiver for a few seconds.

L291 here since this morning. ERD did not enable USB . So what did they ever intend to put it in the back of the receiver for?
The other mentioned new functions are nice though.
