How to get a complete programme guide

EPG is the most common source of small faults. Time zone, day count and cache — in that order.

An empty guide rarely comes from the service. Start with the device time zone: automatic time with the wrong region shifts everything, usually by exactly one or two hours.

Next is the day count. Many apps request seven days by default, which is a heavy fetch that breaks on weaker boxes. Lower it to two or three days and it completes.

Last: clear the EPG cache and force a refresh. Many sources only update overnight, so an empty guide at noon can simply mean waiting until tomorrow.
