I don't get to choose a FreeEPG Foxtel Guide?

Just a Question about this for anyone.

I am in Adealide
When Setting up the EPGStream Guide for foxtel satellite, I only get one option
"Austar Oztivo basic package + extras"

When I tried the digital FTA setup one day, it gave me heaps of choices
FTA Oztivo
FTA FreeEpg
Foxtel Basic
Foxtel Premium
Austar
etc.

since I need to setup my foxtel last in a Digital + Foxtel working together setup.
I only get one choice
Am I doing something wrong, or do Foxtel satellite people only get to choose the Austar feed?

should I choose Cable instead of satellite? they both have a set top box to control, and I will get my FTA channels on the digital card anyway.
Did I setup the EPG software wrong in the first place?

and if I end up getting a choice which feed do people prefer for Foxtel anyway? the Austar feed is getting more inaccurate, and the wife is staring to notice.
e.g.
E! is out by 1 hour, so it Missed "the Soup"
Goodies episode on comedy, was the wrong one.
SciFi channel had a Samurai Cartoon on, instead of the listed Charmed Episode
No Showcase Channel Data?

Re: I don't get to choose a FreeEPG Foxtel Guide?

Well I resetup my system, and chose cable this time.
this gave me 4 choices, Digital basic & platinum, Cable Basic & Platinum


E! is still 1 hour out, and I havent got any showcase data yet.
(i might have to allocate listing later?)

but I did find a little trick to save me typing out all the channel names, when doing a FTA & Foxtel setup.

instead of adding missing channels.
I just went to Edit channels and selected all.
not only did it select all the Digiatl channels I could see in the Edit channels menu, it must have also selected all the hidden Foxtel channels in the guide.

of coarse I have channels listed, that I don't have access to (I don't get the movie channels or sports).
I would have to add the channels I needed, then deselect all, and then reselect the individual channels I needed.

That can wait till after xmas
