[QUOTE="SciDoctor, post: 88736, member: 11346"] You are not taking into account worst case scenario which you should do with real time data grab . The broadcsters don't guarantee that all data is present and error free. - does not simply scans all channels in any mux (as you say it does). It does if every channel times out WORST case scenario - it skips channels for which epg has been received In skipping a channel for data received there is NO guarantee that the EPG is now fully populated for that channel - it skips channels for which epg has not been received or timed out - meaning (in the uk situation) it moves to the next mux very quickly Which is quicker (worst case) 200mins to grab from MUX A to get to MUX B or 10mins. You could have grabbed 3 channels from 6 MUXs in the time it took to bash the living daylights out of MUX A and got no EPG data. As the time is the same what ever the grab result the total time to grab from every channel (no missing cannles) is the same for both methods. My proposed method cuts out wasted time on a MUX which may have no EPG data available because of errors and quickly covers the MUX's. [/QUOTE]
