OK well in the TV server setup, go to TV channels and EPG Grabber. Select which channels you want to grab data for, select English as the language. Under I think General setting there is an EPG tab, you may want to make it download the EPG while it is recording or force it to always try and fill holes (although I don't know how much affect those settings have).
That should be all there is to it, unless I have forgotten something.
Edit: Looks like selecting English is necessary. Im using the EPG just to get Parliment TV and Freeview HD data (don't like empty channels in my guide!) as I don't need full data.
OK so I would like to post here again about something different, getting hardware acceleration working with a Nvidia 8600GT. For some reason whatever combination of settings I try with VRM/EVR and H.264 codecs (I have PowerCinema 5 and PowerDVD 8 installed) I still get 100% on TV3. Given how badly the video lags 90% of the time, this isn't any good (in fact the reason I moved the graphics card over from my machine).
I have the latest Nvidia drivers installed, and this worked on my main machine (2.6GHz X2, same gfx card) with the PowerCinema5 codec. I could watch TV3 with no lag, very low CPU usage. The only significant difference is a drop to the 2.4GHz single core in the media center, however this should still be heaps of grunt with hardware decoding.
What can I do to verify HD hardware decoding? I have some recorded shows I could use (don't feel like downloading a huge demo off the net), just can't find any suitable software.
Update: OK fingers crossed it is working, with PowerDVD8, EVR and Vista Home Premium SP1. CPU usage is high (~50%) but it is watchable and that is all I want. Hope this helps someone.
