Hi,
Is there anyone with a fully working webEPG configuration for all or for most of the channels?
Please share the config-file if so.

This one is working ok for me...

hamp there's a problem with that grabber. It won't grab actor/director details so you can't schedule recordings on persons :/

I didn't even know that was possible... I followed this:
MediaPortal_WebEPG_Grabber - MediaPortal Wiki Documentation

Well it's more of Comhems problem.

This is a program from Comhems website.

+1, me too, that would be really swell.

Update: After installing an amplifier to the antenna output I now have allmost all the channels I need. The only ones that are missing are TV4+,TV4 sport, TV3 and Kanal 5. I find them but they do not work. Could I find them on another QAM? Different signalrate?

When I do channel search on my TV I find all the channels using 362 MHz, 64 QAM, 6875 signalrate and netnumber 41012 (no option for this in TvServer?). Here I find two TV3, two Kanal 5 and two TV4+ of which only one is working. My guess is that the TvServer can find the ones not working but is unable to locate the ones I need. Is it possible that the TvServer, when finding two channels with the same name, discards one of them?

I also have an annoying problem with the TvServer. Everytime I try to preview a channel I don't have access to the TvServer crashes and if I look in the Task manager a process called DW20.exe is using 50% CPU and mem usage increases with time. However, I would call this a minor issue since I can choose not to show these channels in MP.

It´s not unlikely, but I have never heard that COMHEM uses anything else but 6875 QAM.

No. They are separated by different SID. Or they should be.

I have the same problem, but unfortunately I have not found any remedy.
2 muxes of channels refuses to work and ends up with a crashed tv-server.

Do you have all channels working in progdvb?
I have all, and they work accordingly. They also work in mythtv so something is definitely wrong with mediaportal,
or I have missed something. My logfile explodes to a large file (2mB, in a few seconds) which probably kills tv-server. I´m just puzzled why.

The channels do not work in progdvb, so I still have some hope to fix the issue. But I'm running out of ideas. I can't seem to find the channels even though I've searched through 150-900 MHz with 1 Mhz increments at both 64 QAM and 256 QAM.

Seems I made a typo, I meant symbolrate 6875. You where asking for QAM but the answer should be valid for QAM aswell, I have never heard them using anything but QAM 64

Agree, you don´t seem to have the same problem as I do. Great news.
So try scanning with 64 QAM and different symbolrates:
6900
6950
6975
7000

Could be worth your efforts, but I still find it strange that you find them but they wont work in either progdvb nor mediaportal.

TTViewer?

EDIT:
Remember an amplified signal will also amplify any background noise. Maybe far fetched, but something that came to mind.
