[QUOTE="RonD, post: 870069, member: 117536"] So each or your EPG runs downloaded 552 MB of data but really wasted 519 MB since the "Genre grabber" did not find anything. How often did you run the EPG download? Don't think the idea of giant master channel list would work to well. The channel names I find with a OTA channel scan are close but never really match the IMDB channel names. With mc2xml/xmltv its a pain to map my 30-40 "All Channels" with the ~100 channels from mc2xml. To make WebEPG a bit more user friendly, the code would need changes to do something like 1. let the user enter a zip code, send this to IMDB and get a list of providers 2. let the user select a provider, send this to IMDB to get a list of channels 3. give the user a xmltv-like "auto close match" and with a mapping option to fix channels mapping problems. I'm not a C# programmer so I can't estimate the effort make these changes. One of these days I'll download the source and figure out what compiler SW to download/install to play with the code.
