Do I have to watch TV to get the EPG data or does MP collect it even if I am only watching DVDs (as an example)?

Depending on your settings for epg!

If you want EPG can I recomen O2GRABBER have all swedish channel...

If you dont want epg .. dont setup epg

EPG it´s web based and collect info from the web..
you can even grab some channel with dvb cards

    Hi,

    depends your grabbing method for EPG:
    1) an external app like WebEPG, XMLTV, Clickfinder, O2Grabber
    2) DVB-EPG

    1) run once a day a task in the background. MP recognizes the new tvguide.xml and imports the infos.
    2) You have to run My TV and all channels for some time

    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...

    @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.

    MP1 MP2 MP2 - V2.4.1 Australia - DVB-EPG - does it work? DE
    Perhaps it’s good to look here for WMC skin. In the wiki you find also further infos about setting up the media views. For further discussion it’s better to open another thread. I’ll mark the EPG topic as solved.

    I was able to get everything working using mc2xml and xmltv. I still use SchedulesDirect as a source, but have turned off the Schedules Direct plugin.
