[QUOTE="RonD, post: 1122631, member: 117536"] I've used EPC Collector in the past with USA ATSC, have not used it for a couple of years. For USA ATSC it is ok but does not have very complete EPG info. In my area most stations have about 12 hours of data a few have 24-48 hours. Only start/stop times, program name, short description, rating (PG, TV-14 etc). Does not have Sub-Title/EpisodeName or season/episode numbers. Sometimes a station forgets about OTA EPG, just see "DTV Program" for all hours. Would be "nice to have" not sure if many people would want this for a primary EPG source. Output from EPC Collector matches what I see with USA TV. A typical program has the following. Attached tvgude.xml file has EPG Collector output for 1 ATSC PhysicalChannel=12, ATSC 11.1 KNTV and 11.2 Cozi. [code] <programme channel="11:1:KNTV HD" stop="20150130220015 -0800" start="20150130210015 -0800"> <title>Grimm</title> <desc>Nick and Hank investigate an apparent homicide at an abandoned home that locals believe to be hunted, and the survivors claim a ghost was to blame; Monroe and Rosalee finally go on their honeymoon; Renard seeks the aid of a person from his past.</desc> <rating system="VCHIP"> <value>TV-14</value> </rating> <audio> <stereo>stereo</stereo> </audio> </programme> [/code] [/QUOTE]
