Disable the Freesat EPG station from grabbing and just use the SKY EPG. I could be wrong but the part time ITV-HD is only one channel I'm aware of that is on the freesat EPG that isn't on SKY's EPG. As ITV1-HD and STV-HD on SKY's EPG (see my earlier post on the previous couple of pages) there is no need to use the Freesat EPG.

Thanks for that, I'll give it a go.
I have both the "Freesat EPG" channel ticked as well as the "Background Audio" - I'll untick the Freesat one and report back

Also while your in the TV server configuration menu:- in the "DVB EPG" settings make sure the "always try to update existing entry's" options is ticked.
Hi Jay,
Yes there are one or 2 improvements I'd like to make (plus I think DJBlu is working on the quick channel scan). Ive not had a great deal of time recently, and to be honest i'm a bit reluctant to do much more until the code is merged into the svn (it just gets in a bit of a mess otherwise, especially with >1 person working on it)

What exactly to you mean by update?
If you require the code with Gibmans then I suggest you take the patch file from the previous page and add it yourself.
Its hard enough coding and error trapping without including other peoples patches.
Sorry if this sounds blunt but it needs to be said as we can't make software for individual needs. Until it becomes part of the SVN then it will probably remain out of the patch.
I will probs have the Channel Scan finished by the weekend and will send the code to Miroslav so he can add it to his great patch.
okay, apologies for rehashing old probs but.................
followed the instructions for getting freesat epg but can't find britshorts. have had a trawl through this mammoth thread and tried a few things but nothing seems to grab any data. last night i ticked all boxes in the grab epg bit and ended up with a lot of programme info but this morning it had disappeared.
i don't really know anything about this application (you are dealing with someone who has a basic knowledge of computing but zero knowledge of programming) . can anyone explain what i should be doing to populate it?

Start Mediaportals TV Server configuration . Click on "DVB EPG" grabber section -> Tick the "Always try to update existing entries" dialogue box, Tick the "Enable CRC Check" box, Tick the "EPG grabbing while idle" box and set the timeout to 15 minutes. I have the EPG update every 24 hours so I the "Refresh EPG" section set to 1440 minutes.
Then click on the "TV EPG grabber" section and de-select all the channels you have selected, no channels are actually required here so leave all the channels unchecked.
Then click on the "Radio EPG grabber" section and select channel called "Freesat info" to get the freesat EPG. Freesat EPG is supported by default in Mediaportal without the need for installing any mods or updates .
If you want to use the SKY UK EPG you need to installed either the EPG mod located on post 1100 https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/640641-post1100.html or the EPG mod on post 1119 https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/641906-post1119.html. To get the epg data loading In the "Radio EPG grabber" select channel "EPG background Audio"
If using the SKY EPG you do not need to select "freesat info" channel, it's quicker to update if only the "EPG background Audio" channel is selected.
Hope this helps
