It is complicated, but nevertheless every other solution (WebGrab, mc2xml,...) is much more complicated, as you don't need to write batch files and edit xml files as you need to do with all other solutions. Not to mention they don't provide a way to add proper season and episodes numbers to the EPG at all.. If you never tried to get "better" EPG than the (poor) DVB- EPG this may be too much, but it is not that complicated once you've started to configure slowly and step after step. And you only need to do the work one time as long as no changes are in the aired channels of your provider...

The manual (pdf file delivered with EPG-Buddy) is covering every possible data source and every possible option. Aside this it had lots of screenshots consuming a lot space. That's why it is about 30 pages long. But the only "complicated" thing is the configuration how the data for a channel should be prepared. Those steps always are the same over and over again for every channel, so after a few channels you are used to the procedure and feel it primitive and boring, no longer complicated at all...
