How can I force a complete update of the EPG on the 510 receiver?
Thanks
Paul,
For the Dish DVR receivers to have access to the 9 day EPG you need to have a Dish 500 or functional equivalent, as the only location for the 9 Day EPG stream is transponder 29 from the 110 orbital slot.
Also keep in mind the 9 Day EPG is really 8 1/2 days so using a Monday as an example as a completely Fresh guide you would have EPG data for Tuesday (day two), Wednesday (day 3), Thursday (day 4), Friday (day 5), Saturday (day 6), Sunday (day 7), Monday AGAIN (day 8) and part of Tuesday (1/2 day).
If you turn on the Inactivity feature in the Dish DVR menu then the receiver will pull in Fresh EPG Data every day, or force a refresh by scrolling to the end of the available guide Data, Plus one more press of the remote keypad and the receiver will pull up a Dialog box and ask if you would like to update the guide.
Quick movement around the guide can be done as follows; 1) input a number of hours to jump forward 168 (is 7 days ahead) then press the Right blue arrow button, the same can done to travel backward but use the left bluw arrow button. 2) Use the 30 second skip forward button while in the guide to jump forward 24 hours, the 10 second skip back button will jump you back 24 hours.
