I'm so noob in EPG lol, i don't understand the question but surely i'm not really clear on my explanation

It wasn't a question i was just letting you know if you have those channels in your list and only have those two checked it should pull down all your epg info ( upto 3 days i think ).

If you select only those then go into manual control to stop service, when you then start service again you can see the tuner turn red ( in use ) and states which of those channels it is pulling data from.

Hi,
But i notice also something, if i didn't check channel like the screenshot : (the EPG timishift will never grab EPG while timeshifting so i need to select all channel).

And that's exactly what Snoopy87 has been saying and what I recently confirmed.

Yep, i think for timeshift only, we need to get ride of the check in code :

if (channel.GrabEpg)
        {
          _cardHandler.Card.GrabEpg();
        }
        else
        {
          Log.Info("TimeshiftingEPG: channel {0} is not configured for grabbing epg",
                   channel.DisplayName);
        }

If we remove : if (channel.GrabEpg) then it will try to grab epg even if channel is not ticked.

Snoopy87 was saying that EPG data is not stored for channels unless you tick them... which is only correct if you have the "store data..." option ticked.

Both the timeshifting and idle EPG grabbers will only ever grab EPG from the channels you tick. That is by design. It is meant to work that way. That does not mean that you will only get EPG for those channels.

That would be incorrect. You do not need to grab EPG from every channel in order to get EPG for every channel. As I keep saying (and wizard confirmed for you): you only need to tick one or two channels per provider to get EPG for all of the provider channels.

I.e. the ones i posted earlier if you are on csat
Or like me if in UK i select the freeview info channel and manually add sky background audio channel.
