    Hmm.. This morning, I had the same problem (connection to TV server lost). This was using 1.2.0.14

    The odd thing is.. I disabled the UK Grabber and restarted - when I went into manual control, it was still grabbing EPG data on IEPG channel.. this normally says something different.

    Anyone else having issues? I haven't had chance to go back to 1.2.0.13 since I was running out of the door to work at the time - just needed to get it up and running quick for the missus before I went!

    I'll play more with it tonight and post some logs if necessary..

    I think I may start with deleting all TV channels tonight and rescan and see how I get on, since all the problems seemed to stem from when I messed with the Sky ITA channels.

    Clear your database and use 1.2.0.15 from the first post.

    This has error trapping all over the place now and shouldn't stop the TV service from working.

    Ok, I've done that and will see how I get on..

    I've noticed that if I use the Sky ITA grabber to grab channels, then some are not picked up - the Dolly Buster channels for instance!!

    Any idea why? Also, what would be handy is if the Sky ITA grabber could be set to just grab all the channels into one 13deg East group (to keep them separate from the Sky UK stuff as some have the same names and the missus picks the wrong channel!)

    In the meantime I have set the Sky ITA grabber to just grab EPG and have done a channel scan using the normal mediaportal method, and set it to make a group for the satellite. Hopefully this will work!

    EDIT : Just realised that the channel grabber only grabs channels with a provider of Sky Italia! That's why there are loads of channels missing. Presumably this is by design?

    Yup, thats why. It will only grab what is in the Sky Bouquet.

    DJ-Blu - any idea why the last version started killing my channel groups, will this new version resolve that?

    Give it a go and let me know. I can't say if it will as I didn't have the same problem. I have changed something in the add/remove channels though.

    Many thanks for the update DJBlu... with v13 when i used the quick channel zap it was crashing out the tv service.. I can confirm that this stopped after i updated to v15. I've also tried to patch the lastest svn with your 3in1 patch but that wont go just get loads of errors from the compiler. Cheers

    Edit. Just noticed something minor here not sure if its fixable or not. A few new channel were added last night. they get added to the groups ok but appear at the bottom of the list instead of channel number order. easy to sort just a manual change in the server config. Cheers

    new version didnt stop the channel group loss, however this time round I saw the grab that went wrong... it thought that the channels didnt belong in the region so moved everything to all channels...
