My guideplus epg only downloads up to two days ahead now and a lot less detail for itv only. I have checked rf connection to see that itv analogue is delivering a good signal as demonstrated by a good teletext image. On previous occasions when this has happened it has been the aerial connection, but I feel this solution has been covered. The recorder has also stopped using the guide descriptions when it records, simply putting channel and times on the recordings and in the schedule section. I've had the recorder for about four years and have never defragged the hdd for fear of losing programmes I've recorded. Any chance the epg problem is an operational problem rather than aerial/signal?
