[QUOTE="RonD, post: 1144847, member: 117536"] or my tests with WebEPG/imdb and EPGC/xmltv. I setup WebEPG to write directly to database for the "core channels". For xmltv, EPGC wrote tvguide.xml and I carefully used the mapping setup to only use EPGC/xmltv for the "other channels" and skip the WebEPG channels. You can also combine 2 or more tvguide.xml files using the tvguide.lst option (disable tvguide.xml). WebEPG can also write a tvguide.xml file. For the tvguide.lst I've done the following: FullPathToEPGC\tvguide.xml FullPathToOtherSource\tvguide.xml You need to be a little careful in xmltv mapping to keep track of which tvguide.xml file is used for each channel. Easy to get confused. I'm a little surprised some channels do NOT have OTA/EPG. If you use a "real TV", do they at least show basic program name and maybe description if you press the "info" button on the remote. Almost all of my local SF Bay area channels show basic info. Some channels seem to ignore EPG, forget to flip standard/daylight time switches, clock off by 5-10 minutes, or on a few rare cases every program is "DTV-Program" every 30/60 minutes. Also if you look at the EPGC log files, they did a pretty good job of showing what data they found for each channel. Maybe you have a glitch somewhere in your setup [/QUOTE]
