What about over-the-air EPG?

While I think it's neat and all, I would rather use the free over-the-air EPG. Is there any way to get RC1 to use this? Thanks,
Jon

Hi Jon
You can use either over-air-based EPG or Web-based EPG. MP support both. Web-based EPG is in my opinion more reliable than over-air. Here in Denmark the probram-discription can only be downloaded for the next day while web-based EPG can download the programdiscriptions 14 days ahead.
Read more about WebEPG here: MediaPortalSetup WebEPG - MediaPortal Wiki Documentation

You need to check the wiki for TVMosaic, you have recordings as source available once TVM is installed. And of course images and music are part of the NET6 version as for NET4. If you have issues with it further infos would be good.

@CyberSimian As I have just posted in the MP2 subforum I will stay with MP1 for the time being. Many thanks for all your very informative and detailed responses. I will take your advice and monitor the Scheduled recordings list for the discrepancies you have described. Cheers.

Hi, please check the yellow box (almost bottom of the page) about deleting recordings in the wiki. It’s possible to delete recordings, if access is guaranted.

Thanks for that. I found "Chnlineup" in the Sky grab and "FreesatEPG" in the Freesat grab and enabled them both in EPG Collector, and also set them as the EPG grabber for radio in MP2. But here's the odd thing: The next time I opened the XMLTV EPG mapper (where you map actual channels to channels available in the EPG), the radio...
