[QUOTE="RonD, post: 1126780, member: 117536"] Have not used webepg/imdb for 1-2 years. The imdb listings as based on cable listings and it can be a scavenger hunt to find all the channels. They typically have all the major Channel.1 local channels, but some of the CH.2, CH.3, etc subchannels can be hard to find. Have not seen a master list anywhere. For a couple channels, I'd start from the channel/network main webpage, use the "channel finder" or similar option to try a couple different zipcodes, cable systems etc to find a cable system with the channel, and use that info in imdb to find the channel. I'm near San Jose, for 1 channel (ThisTV) I ended up using a Sacramento cable system to get the correct EPG info. If webepg does not have all the channels you need, I'd suggest trying SchedulesDirect ($25/yr) with the SD-plugin, or xmltv-plugin with mc2xml. The webGrab++ option did not work the last time I tried but I did not dive into what is causing the problem. If you are using OTA/antenna, the SD-plugin should be able auto-map all your channels.
