OverlayHD EPG cell width.

Post by Bluebird » Sat Jul 18, 2020 10:48

In the last few days something has occurred, on my U4, that has resulted in the EPG only show 1 hour's worth of programs instead of 3 hours or so.
I have looked around and cannot see which/what setting may have been altered.

Can you point me in the right direction.

I applogise for the poor quality of the pic, but it does get the point across.

I am running release 19.3 and OverlayHD.

From live TV, EPG, MENU, and adjust Visible time period (on the last page of the settings: scroll down with CH-). The system default is 180 minutes, and it's adjustable between 60 and 300 minutes in 30-minute steps.

You may want to backup settings after doing that so that it doesn't get reset to the shorter time again when you do a settngs restore.

BTW, you can use the Grab Screenshot function in OpenWebif in your computer browser to get Beyonwiz screenshots without using a camera. The screenshots are almost always clearer than taking a photo.

You can also get the EPG to remember and display shows that have finished recently: in MENU>Setup>TV>EPG settings, Keep old EPG for minutes.

I have it set to 30 min, but it can be set in 15-min steps from 0 (don't keep) to 120 min.

It's useful for "What was that show that was just on?" questions.
