[QUOTE="Anthony Vaughan, post: 1149588, member: 153283"] Hi CyberSimian I have found two EPG providers that have episode information for UK channels: [LIST] [*]DigiGuide - this is a GUI provider that appears to provide everything - episode name, series number and episode number; [*]DVBGuide - this is a command line provider that doesn't seem to provide as reliable information. [/LIST] DigiGuide has an annual subscription and I haven't had time yet to find out how to save the EPG as a file. For DVBGuide, the EPG is stored into a xml file either in XMLTV or Media Center format. DVBGuide provides info as follows: <title lang="en">NCIS</title> <desc lang="en">Minimum Security: Drama series. A sailor's death from ingesting emeralds leads the agents to Guantanamo Bay, where they must thwart a terrorist's plot to kill one of their own. (S1 Ep 8)</desc> The episode name is stored in the desc field before the colon and the series and episode numbers are stores in the brackets at the end of the desc field. I often found the DVBGuide had no episode name when DigiGuide did. I have found that I can process the MediaPortal database to remove unwanted prefixes (like New) and think I can do the same to add in the episode information, though the former was quite easy the latter will take more time.
