EPG No Data?

Has anyone run into this issue:

When I installed LinuxMCE np(  ;D ) everything is working fine. When I orginally used the system the first day I had recieved EPG data. The information about my channels was correct. Skip forward 2 days. I pop open the TV and use the guide and it is blank.

I check the mythtv web to see what is up and it has a days worth of data an nothing for the future. Is there a process that I screwed up or a script I can run to get the data populated correctly?

I took a chance and ran mythfilldatabase manually hoping that is how you update the EPG data for LinuxMCE. It the data is now there. The next question I have is will it mess up my installation? It took me a good week to work out the bugs on the install and would hate to have to install everything again.

Hi,

In order to enable EPG, you need to get to myth-setup on the master backend then look for EIT and enable it
(sorry for not being to precise but in remember that from the top of my head).

I had some occasions where i couldnt get EPG unless i import a channels.conf in mythtv then use minimal updates.

I have done a wiki DVB page so proceed to install as stated and EPG sould be enabled by default.

You can also use xmltv which apparently load about 2 weeks of EPG but i havent spent time on this yet
i as could not getting working from scratch from mythtv setup.

Hope this helps,
