Yes, I've tried it.. but to be honest, it's quite horrible! I'd be embarrassed if I was DD and released such a tool - they even have the audacity of forcing me to watch some stupid ad for 5 seconds every time I close the tool.

That said, DD offers a transponder list for their WMC tool for my provider (YouSee), but don't seem to have the same for the OctoCast tool. They have transponder lists for download, but they changed the format to something quite a bit different and with many more parameters, so converting is not at all straightforward.

I probably have all the information I need to build the transponder file (since I have a playlist with URLs for all the channels), but it's a lot of work and everything is undocumented, so not sure if I want to spend the effort just to get a MP M3U (after all, I already have the M3U with all the channels.. I suppose I should be able to use that with MP without going through the OctoCast tool?)

[QUOTE="mnmr, post: 1061187, member: 86308"] Yes, I've tried it.. but to be honest, it's quite horrible!
