HDD:
If your HDD is temperamental, put your receiver into deep standby, disconnect the power cable, open the casing and then disconnect the HDD. This will avoid issues with mountpoints changing.
ABM list of regions/areas:
On most receivers, pressing the Media button will open a list box. This is a better presentation and allows jumping through pages with left/right instead of going through every entry.

HDD no longer in the box mate. Just using usb for epg and shows as media/hdd.
If need to put HDD in box again in future mainly for recording would it need to be in deep standby the box or can I just turn off at the switch at back of the box?
In regards to your second point/paragraph, what do you mean mate as don't understand?

Usually take usb without turning off lazy off me.
But if removing cables box turned off and if open box always make sure box is fully disconnected.
Your right about health and safety mate as with things requiring power don't want to mess around.

I never knew mate could cause issues just take usb stick out before.
But obviously will turn box off if taking usb out or putting it in.

Do you want to use EPG from the signal stream or internet?
Do you want to use CrossEPG downloader or EPG importer
Have you sorted out your dish? Specifically, can you receive 11778, vertical, 27500?
Which part of the guide you were directed to did you get stuck at?
Did you do what Pablo said?

USB devices are designed to be hot swappable. There is no physical harm in removing flash memory. However the problem occurs with mountpoints changing especially when a device is in use and also used for EPG storage. So best to put receiver in deep standby before removing the device. Just turning the switch off is not a good idea.

I didn't know there were different ways to get epg.
Just want to know best way to get 7 day epg for sky and VM.
Which is better cross epg downloader or epg importer?
Not sure what you mean by dish. But not having tune failed message for weeks now if that's what you mean.
Am trying to do what Pablo stated but can't find where have to download the fresh epg data from.

So if you turn box off at the bottom if taking usb out or inserting it could it damage the box or corrupt the usb?

I am going to post advise on using EPG importer. If you do not want to do this, say so.
1. Disable the Virgin EPG reader.
Menu > Setup > Epg > Settings > Enable Virgin EPG (change this to no)
2. Set EPG cache location
Menu > Setup > Epg > Settings > EPG location
Change it to /media/hdd
Your USB flash drive is mounted as /media/hdd. If it isn't say so.
Reboot for this to take effect.
3. Setup EPG Importer
Menu > Setup > Epg > EPG Importer
There are various options. Read the screen for what they do. The most important one is
Automatic import EPG. Do not set anything less than 07:00. Picjk a time that suits you.
3a. Set EPG importer sources.
Menu > Setup > Epg > EPG Importer
Press Blue button for the "EPG sources".
You have to expand the ones you want and enable teh sub categories that you want. They will have a tick.

Perform a manual fetch (yellow button).
The EPG will then fetch at the time you set in step 3 above

You switch receiver off by putting in deep standy then turning the switch if you want to. Just turning the switch off causes problems

Is what you stating similar to Pablo?
Have epg currently set at 05:00 you advise not to have anything less than 07:00?
Wouldn't the epg update automatically or only at the time chosen?
