First of all- a BIG thanks for the work put in to this. What a fantastic plug-in.

This may be a really daft question, but I have got my satellite pointed to the 28.2 sat to use freesat, but when I use the freesat plug-in the EPG tickbox is greyed out. I am also having some weird 'NoSignalDetected' issues.

I tried using the Sky plug-in and appears to have scanned okay. Can I use the the Sky scanner on a freesat set-up (i.e no sky card) for the FTA channels only, or will it not work properly? Surely they are effectively the same thing (main difference being the addition of the scrambled channels buy I can delete these)?

Thanks,
Jake

Actually no so sure now. I keep get "no signal detected" errors when trying to test/watch TV. Perhaps need to try the freesat plugin again!

i use the sky plugin one to use the fta channels from my existing dish which was originally for sky, but it uses the same sat and so yes, you can delete scrambled channels you dont want and this will give you sky news as its `fta` :)

    I really want to update to the latest grabber version but I'm holding off as it will require me to resort all my channels. I'm hoping to install it together with 1.3 beta, which looks like it will be released very soon.

    I was wondering if you've tested the grabber plugin at all with the 1.3 beta DJ, so that there's no 'surprises' when it's released? Will you have to relase a new version of the grabber to be compatible with the 1.3 beta?

    Thanks

    Excellent. Cheers for the advice chaps- I will persist! I am currently running a retune in media portal in the hope it updates the channels but keeps them organising. I am getting no signal on each channel despite being nearly full when retuning! Arghh! Haven't even thought about the channels on 19.2 yet!
