Hi there,
I have an EPG that I wrote that does FTA and Fox for me. It is a mix of batch files etc that runs each night. It lets you download multiple days, adjust individual channels time offset, rename channels etc. Requires a free account at oztivo.com.
If you so anything to improve it drop me a line, I have been using it trouble free for 3 years now.

Thanks to mm1352000 I was able to work out how to import a shepherd EPG into MP seamlessly so Im really pleased about that as the shepherd grabber is just awesome !!

My only concern is a decent theme and the ability for MP to grab my movies and music fanart and metadata which it couldn't when I tried last

A big win for me would be to find a way to integrate tv series downloading automation with full fanart and metadata

Not sure how far you have proceeded with this.

I have MP 1.1.3 running and have used the StreamedMP Skin.

I am using Moving pictures and mptvseries to catalogue all of my downloaded content and it is working beautifully for all of these with fanart etc etc

I am about to tackle doing the same with Recorded TV - i suspect this will not be as easy - there will be a need to move the content to the correct folder and with the correct name - most of which you could automate by using the XML files - however these appear to be populated by the content of the EPG - so you will need good and consistent EPG content for this to come close.

I personally find that the majority of my watching of live TV is sport or transient stuff like news - most Movies and TV series are available for download in better def than we get them delivered in OZ

Isn't there anyone who needs the series episode listings in the EPG? Perhaps someone could move this post to the English forum.

Good evening, the last weeks my MP2.5 Server with TVE3 is running not very good/stable. After 30 min the server quits working after changing EPG from EPG Buddie to Clickfinder (TV Movie).

After Tv Movie EPG Import++ is unrepairable, I tried Tv Movie EPG Import. Unfortunately, the import gets stuck here. Does anyone have an idea why this could be, or does it still work for anyone at all?
