Just wondering: my TVs are set to german (due to HbbTV), but I do watch a lot british channels on Astra 28,2?
Unfortunately EPG data for all british channels do only show current and next program... will I get full EPG data if I change the TV setting to UK?

... will I get full EPG data if I change the TV setting to UK?

No, you won't. You'll only get "now" and "next" from Eutelsat/Astra 28,2?.

Thanks a lot for your quick answer lizardking !

So I then guess it's not possible at all on Samsung TVs to get more EPG data...
I probably need a special british receiver to get full epg data via internet - just like on my NAS via DVBLogic & Digiguide
Too bad, but DVBLink helps at least.

Yep, it's very disappointing, that the channel providers on Astra 28 don't supply their costumers with neat EPG data.
On my STB's I receive EPG data via rytec/internet.

Did you do it with the IR Blaster method with FACTORY+3SPEED_inv.wav ?
Or was it possible to do it because menu already enabled ?

I'm on the way to buy a 40F8000 (not Italy code) and I see that there mught be issues with country code and smarthub apps.
