Important Announcement from Amiko Americas:
We are finally moving to the expanded North American EPG system with many more channels. In order to do this everyone needs to be running ROM 2.0.72 or higher. The switchover is planned for Sunday, May 31, 2015.
If you do not update to ROM 2.0.72 by May 31 your EPG data will be messed up with data on the wrong channels and "ghost" EPG channels.
North American EPG is also being made available to pre-2/26/2015 North American A3's at the same time. Pre-2/26 units have special instructions to enable EPG at the bottom of this post.
NA EPG only works on Amiko Americas A3's in USA and Canada. It will not work on any other STB or device.
NA A3's Purchased 2/26 or Later
All Amiko Americas A3's purchased from USA dealers 2/26 or later already have NA EPG installed. If you have an auto update option set up there is nothing that needs to be done on May 31 other than updating the ROM. New channels will automatically appear on your next data fetch on or after the 31st. You can also force an update on that evening using the instructions in the EPG configuration guide here:

NA A3's Purchased before 2/26/2015
You will need to download a file using the Amiko Software Downloader App on your A3 then manually set everything up in order to receive NA EPG services. Instructions are here: http://www.amiko-a3.us/wp-content/u...le-EPG-on-Pre-2-26-2015-Amiko-Americas-A3.pdf

Notes on the Expanded Service
When the new service launches on 31 May it will start with an older test file and a list of EPG enabled channels will be posted. A few of these will need updates on our end to work. A thread will be posted at FridgeFTA Forums for reporting your results. Once we are happy with the initial channels the system will be expanded and will eventually include most USA major channels. Requests will NOT be taken and are not needed since we will add everything we can to the system.
