[QUOTE="kvanc, post: 1288343, member: 168501"] Wow, it seems you have really heavy job with epg data, PN23 :) Let's go case by case. Since Tempest is a very newly published and unknown tool, I am currently more focused to its total coverage as a proof that it is fully programmable and may be used in anywhere so I am trying to add minimum +100 channels scrappers from countries that currently not exist in my repo and unfortunately I am Also very busy with my real-life work so trying to do more about it in limited times. Good to hear sky + fusion mode is promising for you. Fusion level will keep previous days as well when increased upto 15 days for catch-up services. If you need some other channels which is not exist in sky but available in any other public sources, I may try to built scrapper for it as well so you can add its channels to your sky config and grab all together. No worry about UTC/DST options because there is a time-converter module which may be set in your configuration file to convert all different time offsets to your requested offset.
