[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1293855, member: 141969"] With MP in the UK, you can use either the broadcast EPG (which is free), or use an EPG that you download from the internet daily (and which may not be free). I use the broadcast EPG, and once you have the settings adjusted for your requirements, it is trouble free. The downside of the broadcast EPG is that it gives only summary details of programmes, and does not contain series or episode numbers in a way that MP can use. Probably the best internet EPG is "Schedules Direct". But this is not free (about £25-£30 per year), and requires a bit of fiddling in order to get it to work. (For the UK, Schedules Direct provides only the JSON form of the EPG, which MP cannot use directly; you need to employ a JSON to XML converter, and then import the XML into MP.) The broadcast EPG is quite flexible, but this also makes it easy to end up with a less-than-optimal setup. The Wiki is worth reading, specifically [URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/DVB+EPG']this page[/URL]. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
