Questions about the EPG favourites correct but?

[The Old Man]

I fully got my list of EPG stations all sorted inasmuch as I have the correct stations chosen and in the correct order.

I still can't the EGP to give me my list of favourites and I have to choose one out of 3 everything. I did have this working long ago so I know that it's possible.

While I think of it I wonder why all of the EPG column widths aren't a justable. I find that my EPG choices of stations only takes up half of screen width and it would be nice to be able to make station data less squashed.

Do you mean, that when you press EPG, it brings up the bouquet list instead of simply displaying your EPG?
If so then:
MENU->Setup->TV->Channel selection->Always show bouquets Set to "off"

EPG columns are all adjustable:
EPG->MENU->Service width (for the "stations" column)

You can also adjust the font sizes to further make things fit if required.

The EPG is divided into 2 large areas.

The Left hand side is only for channel names and numbers I'm finding that my left hand side is only about 40% or less filled with my channel choice of favourites. If this could be made larger the right hand side would not look so crowded.

Which EPG style are you using.
I was assuming you were using the default "Graphical EPG" style.

There is also the Multi EPG

The Infobar EPG

The Single EPG

And not strictly an EPG, but the "Channel list" (when you press FAV).

Which of these are you having issues with?

I went to MENU->Setup->TV->Channel selection->Always show bouquets Set to "off" and did this but still didn't work. There must be something else that I'm missing.

As for the EGP layout from my screen you can see I'm not using a preview window and that there is plenty of space on left hand side that is blank but might be more useful if I could either have more or larger EPG data on page. See attached.

You may need to restart for that setting to fully take effect.

Yep, so as-per my previous reply on this one, you need to adjust the "Service" column width.
EPG->MENU->Service width

It probably needs to be set to around "100" at a guess with your selected font sizes.
See how that looks and adjust accordingly.

I finally have got the EPA column width correct thank you.

The other problem getting the favourites opening the EPA still isn't working despite rebooting a couple of times.

There is another setting which should also be disabled (and is by default).

EPG->MENU->Show bouquet on launch

And for good measure, make sure you zap to a service in your Favourites bouquet using the EPG to ensure that the Favourites bouquet is set as the default.
