[QUOTE="tony72, post: 1157426, member: 97107"] The Freesat Info radio channel will give you EPG for the official Freesat channels only. There are some channels where there's a Freesat version and a non-Freesat version of the channel, e.g. Pick TV, there's "Pick" and "Pick FSAT"; make you add the Freesat version to your channel list, and you'll get EPG for it from Freesat Info. Also make sure you've weeded out all the scrambled channels that don't show up as scrambled; if you can't watch them anyway, no point trying to sort EPG data for them. Some non-Freesat channels seem to provide their own EPG data, France 24 is the only one I have set up that way. I have "Store data only for selected channels" ticked, and only "France Eng" ticked in the TV EPG grabber channel list. For some of the others, you can use WebEPG or one of the other XML solutions to fill in some of the holes, that grabs data from some online TV guides, it can take a bit of work to set up though. See [URL]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/15_Customization/001_TV-Server/Configuration/13_Plugins/WebEPG[/URL] for info on WebEPG. Only the RadioTimes grabber works for me, I had the digiguide grabber working in the past, but I think I had to modify it, and on my current HTPC I just haven't been bothered, so I just grab the channels that are available via the RadioTimes grabber. I still have a bunch of channels with no EPG data. In the past, I used WebGrab+Plus, which is pretty powerful, and managed to find grabbers that worked for almost all the channels, but I just haven't bothered with my current setup, I have the channels that I actually care about, so good enough. I guess it depends how much effort you want to put into it. [/QUOTE]
