Just to get this straight, the Media Portal grabber doesn't work for most and therefore people are using third party grabbers. I this right.
I just want to know how much effort to put into getting it to work. If I shouldn't bother does anyone have a guide for simpletons in the UK?

Bleb isn't working, but this is not MP's fault - the website (bleb.org) has been down for days. RT should still be working - it is for me.

Radio Times almost works for me, but I don't get info for any of the BBCs ITV1 E4+1 and a few others. Is there any reason for this intermitancy?

I also use the radio times grabber and it works everytime. WebEPG maintains a log when it grabs, look in there for hints as to what may be wrong.

    Also use WEBEPG, which is the default, if you use the settings, from when MediaPortal has loaded (recommend bluetwo skin for this as this one is always upto date) and have had no problem with the default setting, once the channels are set up within Settings\TV\xmltv, and you will need to attach each regional channel to say BBC1 = BBC1 southeast.
    If you do not want a channel do not assign to it (ie scrambled channels).
    Anymore info search back in time through the epg support on the website as loads of info.
    Also no problem grabbing info.
    Use scheduler to run WEBEPG.exe, say once a week, you will need to reboot for this to be fully recognised.

    Have a look in the wiki there is a good page on setting up WebEPG .
    There is a step by step guide to setting up WebEPG and creating a scheduled task.

    Thanks. I didn't know about webebg. One you told me, I googled it and found this:

    mypage.bluewin.ch/webepg/Dummies_Guide_to_WebEPG.pdf

    Everything works fine. Thanks for the help.
