I have Jags EPG set to run a daily channel scan, but EPG data still seems to be poor. Can I improve it?
The Freeview EPG can populate poorly for many users, and so even a daily channel scan can fail to pick up a lot of data. There are two settings that can improve the EPG data somewhat. Firstly, increase the scan time for each channel (option 7). Anything up to 120 seconds may be useful. Of course, this will dramatically increase the overall scan time, so you may want to consider altering option 6 to scan a finite number of channels. Don’t forget to alter the actual timer to reflect the new scan time required by Jag’s EPG (available from option 6)! Another setting is the newly-introduced ‘Save EPG buffer automatically by time’ option (option 38). This can be set to save EPG data in the buffer every 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes to the Jag’s EPG buffer file. This can drastically improve the situation. In addition to these changes, there could be a limitation with Jag’s EPG itself; it has a limited capacity in terms of the amount of data that can be stored for each channel. In an attempt to i
