[QUOTE="Jasmeet_181, post: 1260186, member: 56089"] All of the FTA channels at 28.2°E are on Sky so there's not much point using Freesat too. Are the missing channels matched and saved in the [URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/XmlTv+Plugin']XmlTv plugin's[/URL] Mapping tab? Broadcasters have to pay to be on Freesat and Sky, last year Freesat changed how they charge broadcasters so that the fees are linked to the number of viewers. Channel 4's fees went up and they decided to withdraw All4 and Channel 4 HD. 4Music left Freesat a few weeks before them, which might also be related. You'll only be able to get now and next data by ticking the individual channels on 28.2°E. If you want to try EPG Collector, I posted a basic guide [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/custom-data-grabber-with-sky-epg-grabber-for-1-16-onwards.136684/page-10#post-1236840']here[/URL]. The next steps would have been to pick the correct ITVs for your region in EPG Collector and schedule EPG Collector to run by itself with Task Scheduler. [/QUOTE]
