AMIKO Having issues setting up EPG

[Alan Rovner]

Hi again it's the newbie. Do the North American satellites send EPG data? I've tried to follow the setup guide with no luck. The only channel I've come across that has the EPG flag illuminated is Montana PBS.

Does that work for other A3 users?

Thanks again,
Alan

Very Very few FTA channels in NA send out EPG data.

Thanks Mike that's too bad, I was hoping to setup the DVR functionality. Oh well....

This question has been asked many times. Maybe a sticky reporting the situation: Not available on most channels. And maybe a list of which channels have a good EPG.
^^^ Would be nice ^^^
Maybe get the newer internet capable receivers to incorporate EPG via I-net in conjunction with ftalistings.com??
Would also have to enable I-net time setting I would think.
^^^ Would also be nice ^^^

Joe from FridgeFTA had set up a CrossEPG server for Amiko A3s bought from him, but last I heard it was broke with no ETA on a fix. Also, he wasn't really providing data for that many channels, especially on Ku-band.

Ya it was the final reason I bought an A3.
