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..

    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 very much, Jasmeet. Worked. But note that this setting has moved, apparently, to: Settings > TV (not Plugins)

    After Tv Movie EPG Import++ is unrepairable, I tried Tv Movie EPG Import. Unfortunately, the import gets stuck here. Does anyone have an idea why this could be, or does it still work for anyone at all?
