[QUOTE="technoweary, post: 1204493, member: 153083"] Hello Owlsroost Thank you for your reply The problems I am having with the OTA EPG is accuracy As I explained in my previous post I would wish to use tvguide.co.uk because they update their information and are consistantly accurate But, as you point out, finding the information to use in a grabber is difficult I was using WebGrab+Plus but I had problems in that it appears to have problems with timezones and I was unable to get it working I am afraid I do not have the technical skills to become part of the development team and if it comes down to "if you dont like it do it yourself" I can only reply by saying I thought I was contributing by asking questions on the forum and giving a little finance to the project If you take a look at my downloads you will see I have in fact downloaded some tools, and they confirmed that I do not have the skills to contfibute technically It is difficult to ask questions and drone on about why you are having problems, or why you think something is not working, without it appearing to be a criticism of peoples good work. I do not wish to hassle any of the development team and I never intend to be critical. My posts are genuinely requests for help. To point me in a direction so that I may be able to help myself. Many times the problems have been me not understanding the instuctions or not reading them correctly. I never wishcriticism of the work of other people more skilled than me. After all if I really do not like it I can always contribute on a monthly basis to Sky TV and not have to make any effort This Christmas break I am doing a full re-install of MediaPortal 1, because it has become unuseable on my system with continual lock ups requiring me to use Windows task manager to end the process or regular hard resets I know this all stems from the updates a few months back when all the codecs re-set to only use MP renderer to get any audio and it will probably only get worse or my PSU will give up becuase of the continual resets It was my idea to change the skin during the process, hence this post about manual recording, so I am always looking to improve my experience of MediaPortal with what most people would consider too much p***ing about just to watch TV! Can I point you to evidence that some people are unhappy with the useability? Well I do not think listing posts I have trawled through on this forum reading others asking for help is taking a positive step It is just as disappointing for me when I read posts asking for help that I am also looking for, or posts asking if MediaPortal is dying All I can do is say just try searching in the epg pages and you will see immediately that people are struggling to get options for the guide and browse the plugins to see the efforts of people trying to use internet So please be assured I am whole heartedly behind MediaPortal but I am probably one of those people who the forum warns very fairly that you do need some computer skills to maintain and use MediaPortal Regards TW [/QUOTE]
