What's changed Astra 28.2

[Harry Bloomfield]

How? The $ky 7-day epg is behind their paywall and the freesat one is 'encrypted data' as far as I know.

Via the interweb is possible as per Enigma boxes with 'images' and web-scraping of listings sources.

I plugged it into the LAN in the house, but it said it had failed to connect - I didn't pursue it. It says it is running Enigma software, which might explain it?

Or perhaps - Our LG TV, has a built-in sat receiver, but normally used on Freeview. I switched it to sat, to check the dish/LNB still worked, before testing the Skytec receiver on it. I've just checked the EPG on the LG, on sat - and that shows a full EPG for 7-days.

That's interesting... how does it 'know' there are new channels to look for (via the web?, via $ky's epg data, via freesat's??)

I don't know, but the option to update the channels automatically was there - whether it works, I may find out in time.

LG are freesat comliant (unlike my Panny OLED).

Enigma boxes get the EPG and tuning stuff over the interweb with the right 'images' installed. You may or may not find that works when away caravanning without occasional wifi hotspot use?
Good luck with it Enigma may be the way I go if/when my Humax boxes die.
