Is there a good TV guide for the DM8000 that will give me a 7 day program schedule? What would be the best image to install on the DM8000 that works best on Sky UK?

Crossepg install on all images and will give you a 5-7 day EPG.

What image do you have installed ?

you may have to reboot more than once in order for EPG to install and populate correctly
i know Cross EPG has been working fine on my Dm800SE HD with Edg Nemesis image for over a year now without issues .
good luck : )

What providers have you used and have you configured crossepg to run on usb or HDD ?

You use just one and the one that matches your channel settings. Be it 28.2 or 28.4 but not both.

both are part of Sky UK and are the same location that my dish receives. Sky uses multiple satellites at that location and I don't know if I get the correct guide data if I only select one. I initiated a download and didn't see any errors.

I don't know which one has the epg data since I like to have the epg for all Sky UK channels that are at that location

On a channel press the ok button once maybe twice and the skin should show you.

I don't think it is downloading the data, I tried selecting 28.2 and then just 28.4 but I am not getting any data download. What would be the best image to install for Sky UK, that all I want to use it for.

Make sure on the configuration tab you select yes to all options and you have selected the HDD storage.

Right in open tv select one or the other 28.2 or 28.4 by highlightimg it and then pressing the ok button the yellow button to download it.

Tell me the process it goes through.

reading channels, reading titles, reading summaries and it takes about 10-15 sec. when I check info about database, there is only a total of 66 bytes, so I assume it didn't download anything
