[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1280112, member: 141969"] Terminology is important. Do you really mean [I]shutdown[/I], or do you mean [I]standby[/I] (which is usually [I]sleep[/I], but could be [I]hibernation[/I]). "TV Server" cannot wake the system to grab the EPG if it is shutdown. 10 minutes to too short. I have my system setup to grab the EPG once per day, but I grab for 40 minutes. The EPG grabbing and database-update take around 30 minutes on my system, but it varies from day to day (depending on how many entries there are in the EPG), so 40 minutes provides some contingency for when the EPG is larger than normal. It won't populate the guide if the refresh interval is 24 hours and there has already been an EPG grab within the last 24 hours. To perform an immediate grab, make sure that the grab timeout ([i]not[/i] the refresh interval) is set to 40 minutes, and then go to the "Manual Control" section and click "Refresh DVB EPG". A refresh interval of 24 hours should be OK, provided that your system wakes each morning (i.e. it is not shutdown), and the grab timeout is large enough (i.e. 40 minutes, not 10 minutes). Check that you have the following settings: On "DVB EPG" panel: [i]Grab EPG only for channels on same transponder[/i] -- must be [b]deselected[/b] On "TV EPG Grabber" panel: [i]Store data only for selected channels[/i] -- must be [b]deselected[/b] [i]Grab EPG for these channels[/i] -- select only [b]BBC1[/b] or [b]BBC1 HD[/b] On "Radio EPG Grabber" panel: [i]Store data only for selected channels[/i] -- must be [b]deselected[/b] [i]Grab EPG for these channels[/i] -- select [b]nothing[/b] -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
