FAQ 05: How do I get a 7-day EPG on my Toppy using a Mac?
Firstly, this only applies to Australian and UK users for the moment.

Grab a copy of MacTF-EPG and start it up. Go to the prefs and select your region and how many days to download (up to 8) then hit the "Fetch EPG info" button. This may take a while so be patient. Once the data is downloaded, connect the Toppy via USB (make sure other programs such as MacTF and MPEG Streamclip aren't running) and hit "Upload EPG to Topfield". It uploads the data in the form of "TGD" files to the Program Files directory by default.

The next step is to display the EPG data. There are two options at the moment, epg_uploader and JustEPG.
1. epg_uploader is a TAP that takes the TGD files and loads them into the Toppy's internal EPG storage. You can then use the built-in EPG, or any other EPG TAP, to look ahead in the guide. Timers can also be created based on a flag set in the TGD file, enabling you to mark programs to be recorded from your computer. Setup requires you to edit an .ini file with some values for your area, and instructions are in the TAP package.
2. JustEPG (although the current version is here) is a TAP that acts as a replacement EPG that displays a list of programs for 6 channels at once. It is able to read the TGD files directly (but you can also use it in conjunction with epg_uploader if you want). It is very intuitive and makes setting timers dead easy. Although this also requires you to edit an .ini file to set it up, this step is less complex than epg_uploader's.

BTW, if you inadvertantly download EPG data for the wrong region, you may need to delete the contents of your ~/Library/Application Support/MacTF-EPG/output folder to force any cached data out.
