Will there ever be an on board program guide for any of the Freesat receivers.

what do you mean ? --> on board program guide
Re: Program Guide
The freesat has a Program Guide and it works as long as the Satellite Provider is sending the info in the satellite stream, that's where the problem is most of the powervu providers don't send the info in the stream, if you can get A F N they send the info in the satellite stream, most of the others don't.djsenterprises wrote:Will there ever be an on board program guide for any of the Freesat receivers.
I hope that answers your question.
Re: Program Guide
it puzzled me the phrase "on board" possible lost on translation.
IQ is right the EPG function on ANY brand will work, unless the station upload it on the stream.
Hence!, 95% of the time will NOT work
Why?
Again the network MUST upload that (uplink) to the Sat, goes down (downlink) back to us the Freesat will decode it and we have the Guide
Is annoying HELL YES!. I am one user that depend 100% on that to record!
But is all about money!
and Why?
1) They networks must have employees to work on that = $$$
2) The uplink to Satellite is NOT FREE. What is free in this life anyway
BUT
at this moment I am talking to SES, to give you guys exactly how much it costs from SES

Re: Program Guide
Maybe by "Board" EPG they are asking for is the EPG format that has all the channels vertically and the programs horizontal, like Freesat tried to set up for the V8 Golden, that failed due to time zone issues.
