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.


attributes. Maybe the lack of an EPG is the reason?

I've got a biggish LG with Freeview and Satellite (HD). Its remote has a "Guide" button which shows the EPG's (satellite takes a few minutes from cold).
There's also a "List" button that just shows the channel names, not programme content, but works instantly (nothing to download).

If your remote has similar buttons why woulldn't it not show an on-screen EPG.

The remote guide button shows an on screen EPG, but all it is is empty
timeslots. I can fill the current timeslot by opening the channel
[defeats the object a bit though]

An odd few boxes are filled in and exceptionally the next program
sometimes also. That's it though!

My TV was bought in Ireland, perhaps that makes a difference. I have a
new English Freeview LG now that I intend to take over, so I'll see if
theres a difference.

The Irish TV has never had a software u/g. I'll give this a try also.

I can't try the new LG here as I never had the incentive to stick a
dish up and conditions dont allow for a quick point & try
