[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1263752, member: 141969"] I use DVB-T/T2, so what I am about to say might not be entirely correct. :eek: :( If you go to the "Manual Control" section in "TV Server Config", there should be a button labelled "Grab EPG" (or similar). Click that. It will discard the existing EPG and then perform an immediate grab of the EPG from the satellite. One of the tuners should change from "idle" to "grabbing EPG". Wait for that tuner to revert to "idle" (this may take 10-15 minutes, perhaps longer). Don't watch a TV channel or listen to a radio station while doing this. The above is not the normal procedure for grabbing the EPG. Normally it happens automatically, depending on what options you selected on the "DVB EPG" panel: (1) If you select "grab while timeshifting/recording", the EPG will be grabbed only when one of those activities is performed. So if you use your HTPC to listen to music and don't watch or record TV for several days, the EPG will not be updated. (2) If you select "grab while idle", the EPG will (typically) be grabbed when a recording finishes or you stop watching TV. So you put the HTPC to sleep, but in fact it will continue running because it is grabbing the EPG. Don't worry -- it will sleep when the EPG grab is finished. You can enable (1), (2), or both. (With DVB-T, I use (2) only.) WebEPG (and any other internet EPGs) should all be disabled. They are not required, and if they remain active, they may cause problems. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
