Whenever I press the guide button,I find a number of channels have 'No programme information' displayed.This never happened with my old 'Fox t2',so why does the 5000t find it so difficult? I have tried 'factory condition' and re-tuning.

The EPG is updated over the internet I think. Is your network connection good? I have never discovered whether the EPG works over the air when the network is not connected but maybe others can help here.

Thanks,GrahamRHK. Your advice to connect the 5000t to the internet seems to have worked.

My 5000T is rarely connected to the internet. The 8-day EPG from "now" to eight days time updates over the air. However, if I look at the eigth day I get a message about there may not be EPG data. Without the internet connection I cannot get EPG items for previous programmes. (ie. what was on an hour ago).

The backward EPG has to come from the internet (Freeview Play feature) but the forward EPG comes OTA. Whether you can see the 8th day depends I suppose on what time in the day the EPG gets refreshed.

Sadly the recording performance in these situations is not as good as the HDR-FOX T2 which is a continual source of disappointment.

As I have said, since I connected the 5000t to my internet [I get a good signal] the EPG is working perfectly going forward,but there is no channel information at all going backwards. My Panasonic TV is not connected to the internet,so I suppose that could be the reason.

That will have nothing to do with the lack of backwards EPG.

Thank,you Martin.I thought I was signed in to the iplayer,but I wasn't because I forgot I had performed a 'factory condition' a short while ago.I now have EPG forwards and backwards.People who have purchased a 5000t who are not on the internet,or have a poor signal,are not going to be happy with there EPG.

I have tried 'factory condition' and re-tuning.Ive noticed something similar. My FVP4000-T isnt Internetted. If I'm watching BBC 1 and check the EPG, it may show no info for channel 4 (I think) and a few others. If I switch to channel 4 (or whatever channel it was with no info), watch it for a moment then open the epg, all info is there.
Maybe the epg is a "per mux" thing
