    do i need to download logos for channels as when i ran the epg grab it said something about get logos then come back and rescan?

    I'm guessing the error you see is because you have set it to download logos but not set the folder location

    You don't need logos, but if you want logos you tick the box to download them in the sky grabber settings and set the folder for where they should go

    For them to show in mediaportal they go in (off the top of my head, not at my htpc so can't Verify)

    C:\programdata\mediaportal\thumbs\tv\logos\

    Yep, I had been hanging about for tvsource to implement the channel movements. Q2 2013 now apparently. EPGCollector are also hinting it may be possible. One day maybe.

    I had the box ticked to ignore the scrambled channels, but they are still there.

    Fixed - Download v1.2.0.35. It will now ignore scrambled channels.

    Thanks DJBlu, it's working great!! Loving MediaPortal and this plugin, don't think I will be going back to Media Center anytime soon!

    While I have your attention, not sure if this is an issue, but noticed that on the Schedules page the series recordings Type, Date, Title etc are in the wrong columns. Photo attached. (btw Towie is for the wife not me !! :)

    do you still have sky news available after using the ignore scrambled channels, as when i tested that once it also got rid of channels that were not scrambled and ive seen scrambled channels show up as non scrambled and vice versa.
    As for mediaportal its leaps and bounds ahead of media center, now your fun really begins (y)
