[QUOTE="brian_damage, post: 804415, member: 77402"] I've posted a request in the Freeview HD thread, asking if DJBlu's Freeview HD EPG mod could be included as part of the 1.3 Alpha base code, but the thought occurrs to me that maybe the Custom Grabber could be used to perform the same function(?) However I'm confused about how different EPG grabbers would interact, and whether they would supplement each other, or try to overwrite each other's EPG. What I'd really like is a grabber which provides the SKY EPG, a grabber that provides Freesat EPG (with series link) and a grabber that provides Freeview (inc HD) - without overwriting each other. Of course some channels appear on more than one EPG, and picture quality varies between source. so perhaps I'd want to apply a weighting to any duplicates, indicating which should be selected (I guess this goes beyond the scope of the EPG ?) If, for example, I'm recording BBC1 HD via a satellite feed, and I want to watch Channel 4HD, I would expect the channel selection to switch to the DVB-T2 source on the basis that this is the least favourable option not already in use. If, however. I was recording SC4 HD (via Freeview HD) and wanted to watch BBC1 HD, I would expect the EPG to switch tto the DVB-S2 source - even though BBC1 HD is on et the same mux as S4C, Freesat provides a better bit rate so I would have given that a better weighting. (In a super-mzing ideal world, weighting would bederived and automatic) Is this all a pipe-dream? DJBlu? [/QUOTE]
