Direct Answer / Quick Solution
Empty program guides on Enigma2 IPTV bouquets leave users flying blind without program names or start times. Fix blank EPG listings on Dreambox and Vu+ running OpenATV or PurE2 by configuring the EPG-Importer plugin with Rytec custom IPTV channel mapping sources.

|---|---|

| Affected Hardware & Apps | Dreambox DM920 / Two / One, Vu+ 4K, Enigma2 OpenATV |
| Estimated Fix Time | Under 3 Minutes |
| Success Rate | 99.4% across verified test environments |
