    I think that you can use any Sky channel, e.g. Sport HD1. I did this for all Sky channels that Clickfinder is not providing data. One channel is enough to get all the others. Give it a try.

    One more question.
    I'm using DVB-EPG just additionally for the few channels Clickfinder not providing Data.
    If I untick "store data only for selected channels" what happen with EPG-Data already grabbed from clickfinder? Will it be overwritten?

    No, only the data that you have ticked will be stored. Hence just pay attention to not tick any channel that is fed by Clickfinder.

    Sorry, it don't make sense for me.

    If i just tick Sky Sport 1 HD (as in your example) to get the full EPG for all channels on which the data is missing, it will be still stored just for Sky Sport 1 HD.

    Or do I understand this completely wrong?

    Correct, this one channel will fill the missing data. You will need to set the general grabbing properties right though. Otherwise existing Clickfinder data may be overwritten. Can't access the settings now. Let me know of you would like me to post a screen shot.[DOUBLEPOST=1389814954][/DOUBLEPOST]If there are not too many channels, say only10, then I suggest that you activate both idle and while watching grabbing. Your data should them fill up relatively quickly and the pc will eventually go into standby if allowed to.

    If, however, a non Clickfinder user applies this approach to his 100 channels, then the grabber will be running forever...

    Also for channels that are not selcted but have no EPG Data? That is the point im struggling with.

    Here are my main Settings for epg:

    And here i should have selected only one, right?

    Uncheck “only on same transponder“
    Check “while timeshifting“

    And yes, tick only one Sky channel[DOUBLEPOST=1389818913][/DOUBLEPOST]I also activated "always try to fill holes" bit didnt chevk if this is now the optimal setting.

    I believe the trick is to keep the "always try to update existing entries" UNchecked. Otherwise you will over write existing clickfinder data for the other channels.

    That was also my thinking. But because lack of some detailed information in Wiki it is just a guess.
