As you've all probably gathered by now, I'm a complete noob on the Satellite front, not to mention that I've NEVER yet played with shares and mounts in any form...

But now, I'm getting all excited at the thought that the nice Linux Server I'm waiting for will have the potential to carry out more functions than the primary one (ahem!) intended for it.

If we can get this sqlite Radio Times EPG issue cracked, then 8 Days full EPG for the best 200 channels will be a realistic proposition- downloaded at 0500 daily by, and stored on, the server. With both DM500's set to find their EPG from the /epg folder on the server hard drive.

Similarly, all the Channel Icons could be stored on the server, too- rather than take up valuable space under /var on each Dreambox. And more, no doubt...

A fair old learning curve looms for me, but I'm really looking forward to it, guys!

Cheers- AL
