I asked schedules direct and they said they will have an FTA lineup in beta soon. To get all the channels I need I'd need to configure about 50 different lineups and I still probably wouldnt get all the channels. Thanks for the idea though.

For all who are following this.
I was able to figure out the problem.
It is a bug within the XMLTV EU grabber.

Hi all,
I have always relied upon DVB-EPG for getting EPG data into my Radio Guide (using XMLTV GUI to grab RadioTimes data for my TV Guide), however, I have recently switched to using Digiguide for my data (via the DG2XML converter). Whereas RadioTimes hardly has any Radio EPG data, Digiguide seems to have loads, so I was thinking...

To use the series naming format you have to schedule a series recording ("Record every ...") not a once recording. Once recordings use the movie naming format.
The xml file that is created for each recording, contains basic metadata so that the recording can be imported to tv database in case you reinstall tv server from scratch.

They stay green, even after clicking save. White are only the ones I assigned manually (the ones in the screenshot were all automatically mapped), after saving.
oh ok, clicking Load/Refresh, then Save, then Load/Refresh again makes them white as well. That was the problem apparently. Not very intuitive ;)

Yeah I can understand that as well! I have taken to populating all the channels I actually use (such as a single ITV1 etc) into groups so I can easily filter out none used channels (ie not in any groups) and then totally deleting the hundreds of channels in the TV server which I don't use or can not access etc. So these simply aren't...

Thank you for the reply. It's too bad. I'm in the US and getting series and episode information for the tv series plugin is a challenge. Since the TV series plugin can also use the original air date and MC2XML can provide this information, getting it into this field seems like it would be useful.
