Hi there,

Is there any update on this? (ie the support of channel renumbering and grouping)

Many thanks,

J.

I've just noticed the Sky grabber doesn't get epg data for radio channels, i'm sure it did before...

It never has,

Sky doesn't transmit EPG for the Radio channels Freesat does though.

You're right, i'd recently unticked the Freesat Info channel.

Users....don't you just love us!

One thing I am noticing, which I don't believe is MP related, but I am noticing more and more "To be announced" programmes in my EPG.

This is mainly on the Freesat type channels (BBC 1, Five, ITV, etc) - Anyone else noticing this?

I have Sky and Freesat EPG grabbing enabled.

Hi J.

I have just checked my HTPC. EPG looks fine. Populated up to 28/07/2010. I only have Freesat EPG grabbing enabled on MediaPortal 1.1.0 RC5 at present.

I know I used to see this when I used WebEPG (before the delete option was available before the data load). Radio Times would publish 14 days of data but as you got further into the future programme details were more vague and there were a lot of "to be announced". If the data was not deleted these remained in the EPG. Your issue sounds similar but I don't think the DVB grabbers work in the same way.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Can't say I've noticed any myself. Only using the SkyEPG at the moment though.

Hi guys,

It is weird.. because I will have gaps that state "to be announced" in between populated programs.

Such that at 7:30 - 8:00 I have program details, then 8:00 - 9:00 I have "to be announced", then 9:00 - 9:30 I have program details again! ??

I would have through that with both Sky and Freesat EPG grabbing enabled I should have all the epg data I could ever dream of ;-)

Unless these are not working together?

It definately appears to be more of the "Freesat channels" - but I will need to confirm this.

Many thanks,

J.

Not noticed this. Aren't the freesat channels a subset of the sky channels anyway? i.e. why do you need both?
