[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1192626, member: 141969"] In the UK, the simplest EPG to get working is the EPG broadcast with the TV signals. It gives you seven full days of EPG for all channels. Although you get a description for each programme, you don't get other info, such as cast lists for films, indicators for repeats, original broadcast dates, series and episode numbers. Other EPG sources have to be downloaded from the internet, and may give you more programme information, but they are more difficult to setup, and may charge a monthly or annual fee. I use the broadcast EPG. For the UK, the broadcast EPG will give you a full EPG (starting from empty) in about 8-10 minutes. It varies, depending on programme schedules, so sometimes you may get a full EPG in 6 minutes, while at other times it may not be complete even after 10 minutes. If you look at the panel shown on this page in the Wiki: [URL]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/05_DVB_EPG[/URL] you will see that the default timeout for "EPG grabbing while idle" is set at 10 minutes. That is a good default, and is the value that I use. To set up the broadcast EPG, I would suggest that you look at the following post from mm (and remember to disable WebEPG!): [URL]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/tv-not-recording.131759/#post-1149034[/URL] -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
