[QUOTE="RonD, post: 1098231, member: 117536"] I have not been following this thread in detail, but if you are trying to do N*100 channels I'd recommend against the WebEPG/imdb approach. With 600 channels WebPEG would try to grab 600*14 days worth of webpages to get the EPG info. Probably over 100 MB of web data and will take more than 1 hour. Not sure where to draw the line, I would not suggest WebEPG for more than 25-50 channels. If you really need 600+ channels of EPG your best 2 options are xmltv/mc2xml or SchedulesDirect. I've never tried SD, not sure of the effort if you do that option. With xmltv/mc2xml you would need to do a lot of channel mapping between your MePo scanned channel names and the names in the downloaded EPG data. Maybe you should just start with a smaller number 25 or so MustHave channels, make a MePo ChannelGroup and add those channels to the ChannelGroup , use one of the EPG options to get EPG data for those channels.
