[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1047032, member: 82144"] Screenshots of your configuration would be [B]really [/B]helpful because right now what you're saying... well, it doesn't completely make sense to me. It seems like you're looking in the right places, so I don't understand where your confusion is coming from. For what its worth, this is how I would configure the EPG grabber... 1. In the "DVB EPG" section enable either or both the timeshifting and idle EPG grabbers. You have to enable one of these for EPG to be grabbed automatically. [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/05_DVB_EPG[/url] 2. Also in the "DVB EPG" section: untick "grab EPG only for channels on same transponder". This means that if EPG for all your channels is carried on one frequency/transponder/multiplex, TV Server will pick it all up. 3. In the TV and/or radio EPG grabber subsections: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/05_DVB_EPG/1_TV_EPG_Grabber[/url] ...untick "store data only for selected channels". This means that TV Server will store data found for channels that you don't specifically grab from. In combination with (2), it means you can tick one channel (like the EPG Background Audio channel that you mentioned) and TV Server will get EPG for all your channels. It is exactly as you said: 4. Finally, also in the TV and radio EPG grabber subsections, tick the channel(s) that carry EPG. When you tick channels, that is telling TV Server to (as you said)... That's it. :) The "TV Epg grabber" and "Radio Epg grabber" subsections are where you do that. There is a list of channels on the left hand side under the blurb "Grab EPG for these channels". The channels that you tick are the channels that TV Server grabs from. They also double as the channels that TV Server stores data for... unless you untick "store data only for selected channels" as recommended above. This implies that none of your channels are in custom groups. I guess you're only using the default "All Channels" group. That's not a problem. You don't have to use the links. mm [/QUOTE]
