    Is there a permanent fix for the EPG problem on the PVR 9150T, mine only populates 2 days, the rest of week is sparsely and randomly populated, used to fully populate when new, Manual tuning does not help.

    Have you tried deleting channels you don't ever watch ?

    Those are the multiplex frequencies not broadcast channels. Do you watch all the channels on each multiplex ? Each one has many channels multiplexed onto the UHF frequency.

    My understanding is that deleting channels alone does not help. The trick is reducing the number of multiplexes tuned but if the OP wants to be able to watch programmes from all multiplexes then that isn't an option.

    I don't want to take up to much of your time, I just wondered if there was a permanent hardware repair that can be done to solve the epg problem on these old pvr's.

    No. The problem is that the hardware was designed when there were fewer channels and it is now short of memory and CPU power and neither can be enhanced. There are plenty of reports that tuning in only three multiplexes gives very acceptable performance but at the cost of limiting the number of available channels.

    It shouldn't be quite that bad.
    The gaps are aggravated if you tune into multiple transmitters, even if you can then identify which are the duplicates and manually delete them.

    Have you tried manually tuning into just 1 transmitter having started off with a clean slate?

    Yes I agree, my friend's 9300 has a full EPG tuned to all available multiplexes from Waltham.
