Hello. I've just set up XBMC on a rooted FireTV primarily to act as a front end to serve the Live TV/EPG/PVR to a television. It's working quite well, the only problem is that the XBMC EPG takes forever to load. I've tried using MediaPortal/WMC/NextPVR for the server and it makes no difference. I've got about 500 channels available from my tunner but I've cut the channel list down to about 100 in WMC. Is there anything I can do to get the EPG to load faster?
What really surprised me was that it isn't just the first time going into it either. I can pull it up, wait 15 seconds for it to load, select a channel and be watching that full screen for 5 seconds, and then hit the EPG again and it still takes 15 seconds to load. I would think it should be cached or in RAM at that point. XBMC does store the EPG locally once downloaded right?
