[QUOTE="TheBatfink, post: 1054778, member: 52265"] Well I understand what you are saying but it's not exclusively for EPG data. It's already setting up all channels in the database without having to run manual scans etc. and managing the channel list itself without requiring user intervention isn't it. Mediaportal provides most of the custom data grabbers functionality out of the box to do this all the time consuming manual way. This is simply making it automated and adding in a couple of additional nice features such as Series link etc. and wrapping it up into a really special plugin. I'd say it was more a whole TV management system than an EPG grabber. I also noticed there are references in the thread to Freeview EPG so I thought it may of been interacting with DVBB channels (as everything in the UK at least through S2 is Sky or Freesat). I can of course do it manually and probably will go that route now I know you say this plugin / svn is not providing that functionality. But my next question is, what effect (if any) will the grabber have on my channels lists / configs after I have spent the time setting this all up? Is it possible it could overwrite changes / additions I make in this area? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
