UK Infobar ‘Now and Next’ EPG Modification

UK cable doesn’t conform to the dvb-c standard. So we need to modify the source code so that it displays the now and next program information on the infobar. Without this mod, there will be no now and next epg.
Make sure you have completed this part of the build before continuing with this mod.

You will need to patch a .diff file for this to work. The .diff file can be downloaded at:

http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=3663#post3663

Extract the zip file and copy the ‘infopmt.diff’ file to the tuxbox-cvs directory.

In a terminal window, change into the tuxbox-cvs directory.

cd tuxbox-cvs

Copy and paste this command:

patch -p1 < infopmt.diff

This should patch the into your source code. If not errors appear, all is fine. Sometimes the source is modified and the .diff will not work. You will need to see which line fails and alter it according to the new source.

Now copy and paste these commands to complete the image.

cd cdk

rm .enigma

make .enigma

make rebuild-flash

make flash-compress

The image should compile into a complete.img file as per the Creating your Own Dreambox Image blog.

Good Luck
