Hi Chris
It's an older 1080 Plasma screen, which I still think delivers a better picture than a 4K LED screen using a 1080 input source :-) .. I think it's the TX-P42G20. It's not smart and whilst I can connect via ethernet, I rarely do. I'm not aware of any background system upgrade to the unit, certainly none that I have invoked.... and other than the EPG issue, I'm not seeing any other issue with it. I did try disconnecting the aerial, rescan (which obviously fails), reconnect the aerial.. and rescan again... still the same issue.
It's all the EGP, but when they do (very slowly) populate, I usually get the now & next, but anything beyound the next hour doesn't show.
I get served by Winter Hill, as I am in Worsley, M28 - I don't usually have any issues... and I did check the status for Winter Hill and no reported issues... and my LG (and a Blaupunkt) are not showing the same problem, albeit the smaller LG has always annoyed me by randomly freezing momentarilly on the EPG and suddenly every channel goes to "No Information" until I start paging back/forth through the EPG, but, I live with that.

I don't post to many forums, in fact, seldom..... but, I have to say that your answer should be the model template across all forums.
I must admit that I don't fully understand some of what you say, my knowledge around multiplexes is vague at best, so I need to do a little more digging of my own around that aspect but, that doesn't detract away from the information, the depth of answer along with well explained/reasoned suggestions that you have provided.
First class anwser and very much appreciated. No worries on any further updates, as beyond what you have mentioned, I suspect there is very little I can do apart from upgrading all of my TV backbone equipment, as I inherited it all when I bought the house, some 12+ years ago, so it's probably time for an overhaul.
But, again, much appreciated - I'll definitely be printing that advice off! :-)
Kind Regards
Colin

Cheers Chris - I can't fault your replies! :-)
I've printed both of your replies and will properly digest that information - I'm sure you've provided a great starting point and saved me days of research there, so many thanks again for time/effort and feedback, it's been very much appreciated.
Kind Regards

Hi
For some reason over the last 2 weeks, the EPG on one of my TVs (Panasonic) has been esxtremely slow to load, often missing entries on channels. My TV EPG (LG) upstairs shows the EPG perfectly fine, this would suggest to me that it is something wrong with the individual TV. I have cleared out the channel list and have done a full rescan to no avail.
I am loathed to do a factory reset on the TV at the moment, as it seems like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
Would anyone know why the EPG has suddenly developed a slow load?
Regards
Colin
