I have a few channels that I don't get any EPG data using the Sky UK Grabber. Some of them are missing because I haven't tuned them on DVB-S(2) or they don't exist on the Sky EPG. However, there are five channels that are on the Sky EPG but, for some reason, I don't get any EPG data for:

Capital TV
Movies 24+
Style Network
Home
Alibi HD

Does anyone else get EPG data for these channels?

was going to check movies 24+ but alas i cant its encrypted sorry the others i dont use.

ps. capital tv i do get and epg is present.

i asked a few posts back for advice as when i used powerscheduler++ it didnt pick up any times to bring the machine out of sleep, epg/recordings nothing, and so just wondered if it was me or if there was an issue between the two, i asked in the powerscheduler++ forum but they not even know what your plugin was.

The code is in there to wake the machine so it should work fine. The wife hasn't nagged me yet. All I can say is as with everything in this thread, give it a go. If it doesn't work then report back.

ok installed powerscheduler++ again and its a newer revision than the one i tried before, its picking up scheduled recordings now, just didnt go to sleep even though there was nothing stopping it going by what it said in the config window, unless the config window itself stops it? further testing happening.

I think the config window does stop it actually. You can see if anything's preventing PS++ putting your machine sleep in one of the tabs in the PS++ Config (the last one I think).

I just went through all the channels I mentioned and the only ones that had incorrect tuning details were Alibi HD and Home. I fixed those, then did an EPG grab, and I now have EPG data for those 2 channels.

However, I still have no EPG data for Style Network, Capital TV or Movies 24+, and now EPG data for CCTV News and Sky Living +1 are missing too. >:/

I've gone through the instructions several times, and still can't make anything happen when I hit the Grab EPG button beyond an "AllCardsBusy" error. Here's the critical part of the log.

It's version 1.2.0.35 of the Sky UK Grabber, and build 1.2.300.204. I've got "Set Modulation to "Not Set" for SD channels" turned on. My card is a DVBSky S952.

Any ideas?

Close SetupTV and Open it again.

Then click grab.

I'm getting the same "AllCardsBusy" error. Closing and reopening setuptv doesn't help...

This error is caused because your channels are not mapped to your card.

Rectify this and it will work.

It does say in the instructions to select the cards you wish to use for the grabber.
