Hi gigabyter64
Freeview broadcast 2 kinds of EPG: MHEG and EIT. EIT is a long-standing EPG standard; MHEG is very new and is used for enabling "interactivity" as well as delivering EPG. On satellite Freeview delivers a full 8 day guide via EIT and MHEG. On terrestrial they deliver the full guide via MHEG and only now/next info via EIT. MP doesn't support EIT at this time, so that is why you have the problem. Many people simply combine the satellite and terrestrial channels so that the sat EIT guide. I prefer not to do that, so I use the EPG Collector in combination with the built-in XMLTV plugin to get my guide data for both sets of channels.
