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

I used to use the grabber but a few years back it disappeared on FreeSat DVBS. That is when I changed to EPG Collector. The extra benefit is that it collects from the Sky platform so it will give EPG for all the FreeSat channels plus the unencrypted movie channels on the Sky platform. It also allows me to pick the channels dedicated...

Hey CyberSimian you nailed it! Looks like the secret is:- After EPG Collector has Run and provided the TVGuide.xml Open MediaPortal - TV Server Configuration "Force Import" on the Plugins/Xmltv/General dialogue, (ignore the status) Go to the Mappings dialogue and Load/Refresh and Save a Group - (It does not appear to matter which...

Good evening, the last weeks my MP2.5 Server with TVE3 is running not very good/stable. After 30 min the server quits working after changing EPG from EPG Buddie to Clickfinder (TV Movie). The OS and the MP2.5 Server Software were installed several times new, but in general nothing changed. Are there any changes or setting needed for...

In the UK, the EPG transmitted in the DVB-T datastream allows each programme to have two genres -- a primary genre, and a secondary genre (i.e. a subgenre). The primary genre might be something like Film (or Movie in the USA). The secondary genre for Film might be something like: Action, Comedy, Crime, Fantasy, Romance, Science...
