[QUOTE="Adam86, post: 1236267, member: 123069"] We are referring to SKY UK/Ireland. If we don't use the Custom Data Grabber builds but instead use the FreeSat EPG, then we would get no proper channel numbering (every channel would just be set to number 10000) and lots of duplicated channel numbers. As well as the loss of the series link functionality. Given that there are probably around 1100 channels that would need sifting through, this is a lot of manual work to configure up something alike. The Data Grabber cuts that setup down to approx 5 minutes work and is generally a setup that maintains itself but can sometimes on occassion stop working thus requiring setting up again but given the short config time, it isn't a massive problem. The Data Grabber gives us proper channel numbering, Sky's Channel Categories, removes most duplicated channels and Series Link functionality like on a Sky box. Alun, I don't suppose you'd be able to upload a small TS capture of the changed data would you and put it on here in the hope that possibly [USER=48291]@Brownard[/USER], [USER=121281]@Benoire[/USER] or @[URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/members/mm1352000.82144/']mm1352000[/URL] may know if it is possible to fix this, but it could be a long shot given the plugin was made by [USER=54957]@DJBlu[/USER] and I don't think he has been around on here for years.
