[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1204499, member: 82144"] Accuracy in what way? Can you please be much, [I]much[/I] more specific? For example, are there specific programs or channels that have inaccurate program: [LIST] [*]start times, AND/OR... [*]finish times, AND/OR... [*]titles [/LIST] I'm asking you to be more specific because although I'm not aware of any automated way to pull data from tvguide.co.uk into MediaPortal, I think it's almost certain that there are equivalent or better data sources or alternative solutions for whatever accuracy problems you're facing. If[B] [/B]you insist on using tvguide.co.uk, and [B]if [/B]a grabber does not currently exist, and considering you're unable to produce a grabber yourself, ...then I suspect your quest is probably doomed to failure, at least in the short term. On the other hand, if you're open to alternative solutions and willing to share more information about the problem you're facing then we may still be able to assist you. I note that the OTA EPG data is updated too, so again I come back to the request for more specific information about what exactly is inaccurate about your current data source. I understand how you feel. The developers (like myself and Owlsroost) and other members of the community are here to help. If we thought your request was a critical drone/moan, we'd either say so or simply not reply. The fact that we're replying and asking questions back to you should tell you we're engaging, trying to help you, and don't think you're droning or moaning. ;) If that's the case, the solution should be as simple as changing the codec settings - a 2 minute job. Reinstalling would only be necessary if you have other reasons for doing it. I'd note that in my experience reinstallation has often resulted in more problems than it solves, and for that reason I don't recommend it at all unless there is really good justification for it. Based on the limited info you've shared about why you're choosing to reinstall, I reckon the risks (creating more problems) probably outweigh the benefits. Ultimately the decision is yours though. Sure, fine - I generally agree that wouldn't be particularly productive. Cutting to the chase though, you're indicating that the nature of your evidence - if you were to collect and present it - would be posts from our forum. I would want to make sure that you understand that the nature/purpose of support forums is that they're mostly a place where people who have problems ask for help, moan or vent. Every second post will contain phrases like "I have this problem...", "help me!!!..." etc... but I'd consider this normal. It wouldn't lead me to the conclusion that "many users [are] getting a bit disappointed with the general useability for broadcast and Internet TV".
