You will need to search through the Radio channels (I know this doesn't seem right, but trust me) where you will find a channel called something like "Freesat EPG" (or something with EPG in it - actually there will be two, one for DVB-T and the other for DVB-S). Make sure you put a tick in the box associated with these EPG radio channel, and then put a tick in all the TV channels (and/or radio channels) that you want to grab EPG data for. If you are using this option, you will need to make sure the the "CRC Check" option is unticked (because this causes problems with UK EPG data). I find that the option to grab data when timeshifting/recording is the best option and I would not bother with the grab whilst idle option. It can take some time to get the data, but it will come down as you are watching TV.</span></p><p> </p></blockquote><p></p>
