[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1293861, member: 141969"] The capture of the broadcast EPG does not run all of the time -- it occurs only at the times dictated by the settings on the "DVB EPG" panel in "TV Server Config". Your settings may have resulted in the EPG grab not occurring for several hours. However, you can force the EPG to be updated by using the "Refresh DVB EPG" button in the "Manual Control" section. But you must: [LIST] [*]Enable the idle grabber. [*]Not use any of the tuners for anything else [/LIST] The EPG grab should be complete in not more than 15 minutes, with the database update being complete in a further 15 minutes (so around 30 minutes in all for a full EPG). Using the broadcast EPG, I have never encountered a situation where the current day did not update. But perhaps it was WebEPG that failed to provide the EPG for the current day? I have never used an internet EPG with MP, so I don't know how reliable they are. We are back on the "TV Channels" panel in "TV Server Config".
