Populating tv guide (1 Viewer)

[Printerman101]

Hi

i currently use XMLtv to load the guide from Radiotimes in the UK. This then imports into media portal and its all working fine.

My only problem is i have a few channels which i dont think Radiotimes picks up. For example Pick TV and also NHK World.

How do i go about getting these channels populated?

Or if Digiguide as actually better why cant i get it to work?......its stops at logging in and says it captured 0 channels.

Does this help?

Ah yes! Thank you very much!

Okay well i'm not paying for it when its only a few channels.

Is there another method i can use to pick up the tv stations i'm missing?

Yes, there are a few options. XMLTV, WebEPG and DVB EPG are the ones that I have tried.

If you have a satellite dish you could try DJBlu's custom data grabber. I am Freeview only (via aerial) so I have not tried that one.

I note that with the tvguide.lst file you can get MP to import multiple XMLTV files. Then the problem reduces to finding an XMLTV file for the channels that RadioTimes doesn't cover.
