How to get 2-day EPG via DVB? (1 Viewer)

[burken]

My cable TV provider "com hem" in Sweden is providing a 2-day EPG that is broadcasted on a specific transponder/frequency (354 MHz). On my Dreambox it is enough to tune in to a channel on this frequency and the EPG will be updated for all channels within a a minute or so with EPG information for the coming two days. I don't have any subscription to a channel on 354 MHz but it doesn't matter, the EPG gets downloaded anyway.

How can I make this work in MediaPortal? I have tried a lot of things but it won't work. If I try to tune in to a channel on 354 MHz I will get a message that the channel is encrypted and no EPG is downloaded. I have also tried marking a channel on 354 MHz for EPG download but it doesn't help.

Thank you for the tip about the thread about com hom. I haven't read through the entire thread yet but it seems as most people download their EPG over the web instead of from the TV card because it doesn't work very well to download from the TV card.

It would be nice if downloading EPG from the TV card worked better in future releases of MediaPortal. What I think is necessary is to have a setting in TV Server configuration where you can specify on what frequency the EPG is broadcasted so that the TV server searches for EPG information on that frequency and nowhere else.
