[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1293107, member: 141969"] MP should be able to do this itself, completely cutting out the need to use EPG Collector. I have never used satellite TV, but I believe that the process for MP is: [LIST] [*]Scan for channels. [*]Look at the [b]radio channels[/b]. There should be a channel with a name something like [b]Programme Guide[/b] (or similar). [*]Select the programme guide channel as the grabber channel. [*]Set the other DVB EPG options as you prefer. [*]Job done! [/LIST] If EPG Collector misidentifies these channels, the MP EPG grabber may do likewise, so using the built-in MP support won't necessarily solve this problem. If you are a programmer, you could continue to use EPG Collector, but write batch script to modify the xml file so that the three problem channels are marked as HD instead of SD. Hopefully that would allow their EPG info to be imported into MP. I have never tried anything like that, so I don't actually know whether it would work. If you are not a programmer, I think that you are out of luck. :( My understanding is that the Sky EPG was originally unencrypted, but Sky changed that several years ago. The channel list presumably is still unencrypted, but the EPG is now encrypted and hence unavailable to open source freeware programs. (I am happy to be corrected if my understanding is incorrect.) -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
