Warning this may very likely crash/freeze your box. Don't be experimenting with this if you are new to this world.

I also very much doubt older boxes will be able to handle it. We will see.

A more noob friendly version will be released in the near future.


Plugin to download official Sky UK EPG via your enigma2 box.

This is a very early draft. There is no UI elements like progress indicators etc. It's just a proof of concept.


How to use.

The program uses Sat 28.2e lamedb file to cross reference the channel IDs and service refs.

Therefore this early beta will probably only work for UK people with a Satellite dish.

Will it work with cable(virgin). I don't know.

Will this release work with my Jedi plugin. Not out the box (differnet channel IDs). Maybe worth trying e-channeliser channel assignment.


I highly recommend you do a satellite scan to get an up to date lamedb file first. (you should be doing this sort of stuff regularly anyway ;) )

openatv - menu/setup/service searching/manual scan/type of scan - single satellite


Then I would update autobouquet maker config file and do a scan in that.
There is 20 mins of your life you can't get back. :shocked2:


Download and install the IPK


Reboot gui.


Run plugin which can be found in the plugins menu or in the same menu you find epgimporter (varies per box)

Set the auto update time to be about 10 mins before your epgimporter automatic update. Use a random time and not 7am or 8am etc.

Select the numbert of days you want. 3 to 7.


Once the plugin has run, the settings screen will go back to the previous screen to signify its finished.


Go into epgimporter plugin. Unselect everything. Select SlykEPG7day.

Change the setting to "Clear current EPG before import" to yes. So we know whether it has worked or not.

Save. Run manual scan. Should get about 170000 events.


Check your EPG either via epg guide or channel select or any of the hundred EPGs we now have.


Tell me the good, the bad, the ugly.


My dinobot 4k did the 7 day download in about 1m 14s. It will be interesting to know your stats.


Unfortunately if your box runs out of memory when your are testing this, there is currently no visual clue that your box has frozen other than your skins spinner might just stop.

So if its taking longer than 5 mins it has probably failed.
