EPG can take a hour to populate on a idling system, ie TVcards not being used.

From your log something interupted that happening.

Which version of TVE3 and MP svn are you using, because there can be code changes that break the epg download.

yea i noticed that the logs state that something interrupted it, thing is no client is connected and the status of the card just says grabbing epg.

Ive just left the system for approxximately 3 hours alone and its still not populated the EPG. I cant think of anything else it could be?

and client is the same release day and revision.

i cant think of anything.

Just installed yesterdays TVE3 and MP revision 13668

Grabbed EPG in under 30 minutes.

A word of advise, EPG not done if TVE3 setup running, found that to be my experience.

[ncrukrepairs]

Yeah, im using that version and my tve3 setup isnt running yet my epg still does not populate!?

any other ideas?

[infinityloop]

if you have setuptv open and "click around" then this is interupting the epg grab

only start the TV-Service -> enter SetupTV -> manual control -> grab EPG -> and leave it alone for ~1 hour

[ncrukrepairs]

Thats exactly what im doing and it still doesnt grab any epg?!

thanks

thats weird
i would suggest to install the latest version and delete the db before -> clean installation.

I have dvb-t too, no probs with the grabber
