Electronic Program Guide

I just installed my FTA satellite system and I have been loving every minute of it. After having used traditional satellite systems in the past (ie dish network) I was puzzled to find that the EPG didn't work. Currently my dish is aimed at Galaxy 25. I really want a program guide to all those ethnic channels; I know for a fact that many non-english speaking channels have english segments, I just don't know when they're on. I couldn't find any type of guide for them online so this is my last hope. Other than that everything else is great.

The EPG on a FTA receiver is kind of useless if the program provider don't put the info in the stream it won't see anything.

Most programming suppliers do not transmit the guide so you will not find one. Every now and then you will come across a channel that has one but it is so rare I quit looking. Pretty much just gotta learn when what is on and where. We in the beginning created a list on paper but now we just know where everything is we want to watch.
