[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1293099, member: 141969"] The optimum settings for EPG grabbing will depend on your location in the world, and how you use your HTPC, so there is not a single setup that will suit everyone. [URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/DVB+EPG']This page[/URL] in the Wiki explains some of the factors involved. The timeshift and idle grabbers can both be enabled if you wish, but the optimum settings for the timeshift grabber somewhat conflict with the optimum settings for the idle grabber. This is a subtlety related to the number of channels you enable for grabbing: [LIST] [*]With the idle grabber, you would normally select only one channel to grab from. [*]With the timeshift grabber, you would normally select all of the channels that you usually watch. [/LIST] If you use the idle grabber with multiple grab channels selected, TV Server will repeatedly and unnecessarily grab the entire EPG in turn from each of the grab channels. On the other hand, if you use the timeshift grabber with only one grab channel selected, the EPG will be grabbed only when you watch or record that specific channel; the EPG won't be grabbed if you watch or record other channels, even if they reside in the same MUX as the grab channel. The simplest setup is (probably) to enable the idle grabber, and specify values for [b]Timeout[/b] and [b]Refresh every[/b] that suit your style of use. In the UK it takes around 10-15 minutes to grab a full EPG, so I would specify a timeout of 20 minutes (TV Server stops grabbing when it has got the entire EPG). With this setup, you will probably notice that your HTPC seems to continue running after you have "switched off" (i.e. put it to sleep). This is because TV Server is grabbing the EPG. Your system will sleep when the EPG grab has finished. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
