I've tried a search but it's not working.
On my FVP 5000T programme guide, sometimes programmes only a couple of hours ahead have "No programme information" so I can't set a recording.
Any clues?

Any clues?Tune to BBC1-HD for 15 mins or so. Consider setting a power on/off timer pair on BBC1-HD every morning with a 15 min gap to refresh the epg.

Thanks for that.
I wanted during the afternoon, to record a programme on BBC4 which started at 10.00pm. But whenever I pressed "Guide." beyond 8.00pm-9.00pm it still said "no programme information."
The set had been on all day. I'd been back and forth between Freeview and cable during the day and recording stuff on both.
It was still saying the same at 8.00pm. when I pressed "Guide."
But I then tuned to BBC4, pressed "Guide" and I could then read everything scheduled on that channel until 3.30 in the morning when it will close down.
strange that.

I sometimes see this too. Occasionally a channel will show "No Programme Information" for a day or two. Tuning to the actual channel first, as doghouse mentioned, helps sometimes but not always. I'm not sure if it's even a Humax problem or rather the broadcaster not generating the information.

strange that.That's because Every Mux carries the full epg data in a round robin. The PSB3 Mux appears to be the fastest. That's why I suggested a power on/off timer pair on BBC1-HD every morning to rebuild the epg.

Thanks for the reasponses.
I'd left it on BBC4 HD last night as I'd been watching something on thst channel when I closed it down.
It was still on that channel as I expected, when I turned it on this morning. When I pressed "Guide" I could see the schedule on every channel as far forward as I cared to search.| Mon 1 Feb 2021 11:28:23 #7 | -
I've also heard that its best not to use the remote whilst waiting for the EPG to populate.

Thank you Graham! It has taken a few runs through your routine to fully populate my programme schedules, but now AOK thanks to you!
I was at the end of my tether and about to recycle this equipment, which I'd only had for a few months, yet had found so useful. So...you have saved a Humax device's life!
