First of all, EPG grabbing didn't start until I went to the tv-server configuration --> Manual control, there I pressed the button "Refresh DVB EPG". In my opinion EPG grabbing should start directly after you did a setup with a clean install. Next go to "DVB EPG" in the tv-service configuration, the option "EPG grabbing while timeshifting". When the checkbox is unticked does this mean: - always grab EPG or - never grab EPG This is unclear to me, and isn't even mentioned in the Wiki. It is also unclear why EPG grabbing isn't always on. At some programs I tend to record them for my family, and I watch the first part whilst recording. I see no signs of stuttering or other signs my pc is running out of breath. Next in to the setup choose "TV Epg grabber".Select all channels you want Epg for. I unchecked " Store data for selected channels", this gave me only Now/next information when tuning to a channel, and after a few hours it obviously dissapears from the tv guide. When checked, this gave me a week of EPG data (and more on some channels). Question: is this checkbox useful? Is there anyone NOT wanting a full tv guide? Imho this should be no option, just store the data. I found some explanation in the Wiki, but if you actualy select the channels you want EPG for then you [I]really want to have Epg[/I], right? And then you also [I]really want it stored[/I]... What's the use of having to rebuild epg everytime Mepo is started? Data for these channels should be stored without further asking. The Wiki should be rewritten for this, I quote it hereby. Is anyone making sense of this: [I]If "Store data only for the selected channels" is checked, you need to check the channels you want EPG for. If the "Store data only for the selected channels" is unchecked it will store EPG for all channels it find EPG for[/I] Had to read it 5 times and I'm still unsure I'm understanding it. The last thing which is unclear to me: Filter for these languages. What does this mean? - Include these languages? - Exclude these languages? Is this option useful? Maybe in case a channel gives Epg in English and Arab, one could exclude the Arab langue. The Wiki does not even mention this option. I know I am pressing my luck with asking 3 questions in one post :D greetings Dani [/QUOTE]
