Hi everybody,
I'm always annoyed of the fact that the TV's EPG doesn't contain any data when switching on the TV. Instead, I'll have to switch to each transponder in order to get the entire EPG content.
Thus, it would be wonderful to save this information when turning off and putting this data back into the EPG when booting up.
Best regards

If you want, I can also make it sticky.a-o wrote:Sorry to add a new post (instead of editing my previous), but I would like to *bump* this issue to the top, because it is really annoying but should not be too hard to solve. Or am I incorrect?
Quite possible, we can detect key presses via PVR code.dirkbernhard wrote: is it possible to call a script when turning off?
Yes but we (I) don't know where is it. I insistst that TV stores this information on memory. And It's not quite easy to dump (easy part) and restore(harder part) back.dirkbernhard wrote: if yes, then where is the EPG database located ?
With this two anser the script for saving and loading could be created easily.

Okey this thread is sticky for the month
But I guess it doesn't help.

I think also that TV does not store EPG information into any file and it is loaded only into the memory. Reasons are probably obvious - EPG information can be easily outdated after some time when the TV is off (I'm not sure how many days is loaded by standard when retrieving EPG information), it is retrieved only for currently "live" channels etc.
Anyway, I'll be probably checking some EPG functions, so who knows..

Absolutely, but don't forget to set your clock alarm!a-o wrote:maybe it is possible to switch the TV on once per night (e.g. 3 a.m.) and to retrieve an EPG update
