Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone from Sydney, Australia can provide some info as to the best way to "grab" EPG data for stations here. ie. Which grabber, which source, basic setup instructions.

Any info appreciated,

Hey,

I'm in Melbourne, but that shouldn't make any difference...

It depends how you define "best" ...

If you mean "for free" then use WebEPG. Do a search for WebEPG and you'll find heaps of information.

Try this thread:

If you mean "most reliable" then buy an IceTV subscription here: http://www.icetv.com.au/

I suggest you try WebEPG, and if you are not happy then consider IceTV.

Cheers,

I'm From Sydney and i just use the WebEPG that comes with Mediaportal and i have never had a prob.

http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/Use...ntry_based_EPG

The best setup in the MP webEPG for 7,9 and 10 is "6-minnie.tuhs.og"

Then i use the abc and SBS website it self to save the bandwith used on the above as it is a free community in which poeple enter the data manual.

And if your using TV3 you will have to change the default folder in TV3setup so that it can find the XML file.

Hi there - I have a script that polls the data from tvguide.org.au and returns it in xmltv format - this is the only source I know of with foxtel data

(Let me know if you'd like the script or more details

)

All the instructions seem to be for TV engine 2. What about tv engine 3?

ie. if I run WebEPG-conf.exe the first thing I am supposed to do is click "Import" to get a list of my configured TV channels - but none are setup for the tv v2 engine so nothing is found!

How to I configure an EPG when using the tv 3 engine? The only EPG thing in TV Server Setup is Zap2It and that's american only. :-(

Any info appreciated,
