The LOADEPG plugin allows you to get the full UK sat listings on freesat (te free channels on the astra sky satellite)

First download v 2.1 of the plugin and compile it in the usual way :
http://lukkinosat.altervista.org/

update the dictionary with this :
http://lukkinosat.al...org/sky_uk.dict

set up the loadepg.conf file with just this line :
SKYBOX=Sky UK:11778:V:S28.2E:27500:sky_uk.dict:sky_uk.themes

Go to the plugin setup page (in the menu on VDR). My one failed with 'which card' set to AUTO (it had errors about device not available) so I set it to 1 and that worked.

Test it by going to the menu and selecting that plugin and then press OK on line 1 to run the skybox EPG pull.
If you get errors you may need to check your vdr user has rights to read and write in /tmp
chmod 777 /tmp
should do the trick for that.

Create a crontab entry (to run this command each night for updates)
to do this I created a batch file in /etc/cron.daily called loadepg.sh
(your system may need you to put the file elsewhere and run crontab -e (read the notes on your OS))
Here is my file :

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/svdrpsend plug loadepg load 1
/usr/bin/svdrpsend plug searchepg upds

This will geive you 7 day listings for most TV channels. A few are 3 days and a few do not provide the sat with anything more than now/next or even any listings at all.
