Bought an LG TV with an LNB input. Astra 28.2 ish is the satellite I

The TV isn't Freesat and another one I have in use has an EPG that
sometimes displays the channel after you have viewed it. Then it is
only that channel for that time slot. I have occasionally had the
following program displayed but this is rare.

Is there any way of adding an EPG to a none Freesat device?

LNB inputs seem to have a low profile in many manufacturers lists of
attributes. Maybe the lack of an EPG is the reason?


Likely the manufacturers don't wont the cost and difficulty of
incorporating the Freesat epq. One solution would be to use a separate
linux receiver.

I thought it was probably something like that. Oddly enough every
satellite box carries an EPG although all those I have used are as
minimal as the LG.

Trying to find which TV had an LNB input was a major challenge. I
suppose Freeview has limited the appeal of Astra's freebies.
