yep a great plugin and so many features, scanning is sooo quick and epg just works and series link record..... cant wait for the beta files so i can upgrade my server to 1.3beta.
I had always used the other Sky EPG grabber, and loved it my only gripe was the time spent messing with channels, renaming them and then sorting all the icons out! .. then I find this. Its like Christmas
I have a brand new HTPC just made up, was trying to wait for this but curiousity has got the better of me so I'm going to install the beta now.

@batfink - It looks like I'll be coming back to DJBlu's grabber as I am still missing channels from the other Sky grabber and just cannot seem to resolve it.
Just one question, for the avoidance of doubt really. I don't access Sky, just Freesat and Freeview. I usually combine any duplicate channels between cards i.e ITV1 on DVB-T is ITV1 Granada on DVB-S - so I combine these two, and Dave doesn't have a Freesat equivalent, but does have a scrambled channel on Sky and I usually combine these ( or did for the EPG to populate using the other Sky grabber). So, in order to get full population of DVB-T and DVB-S channels, do I install the Freesat Grabber, or the Sky Grabber?

Ding dong merrily on high, there's new files on page 1 to try.
Ok the before you rush off please read below.
There have been changes to the channel numbering system in 1.3.0 Beta so you will need to download the new Sky Plugin that has been updated. DO NOT I repeat DO NOT use Sky Plugin v1.3.0.24 with 1.3.0 Alpha or lower as it will not work and will probably crash your system.
A notice.
v1.3.0 Beta GIT
It does NOT include the TBS code.
It does NOT include the USALS code.
Will it in future? Probably, do not ask.
It's taken a while to update this and will take a while to update the other code.
Will this work with X,Y,Z? Probably not. This is a Custom build that is built for a specific purpose. Many files are modified and will no doubt affect any other custom builds.
If you have the know how then you can merge the code and build your own. If not then there is help out there that can get you started. Please do not ask in here as it fills the thread with unnecessary information.
Anything deemed off topic will be deleted.
Thanks and enjoy.
