[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1260363, member: 109222"] Hi. You can use EPG-Buddy with the "WebGrab" module for UK TV. There is a looong PDF available describing the usage of EPG-Buddy in detail. As I'm not living in UK I don't have a clue of which websites are delivering the best data for UK. My first try would be "horizon.tv" as it has many programs for many European channels... In general over the air EPG is not that good at all... It only has EPG for very few days and the data normally is of poor quality. But it's easy to get so it's widely used. But if you want more (and identifying of recorded series episodes definitely is more than the basic usage) it did not fulfill all needs. As both programs are downloading the data by themselves only a clean identify is needed. Personally I name all movies "tt1234567.ts" where "tt1234567" is the IMDB ID of the movie. And Series Episodes I name s01e03 (assuming it is the third episode of season 1). The series name is grabbed from the subfolder, something that can be done even with poor EPG data... This pre-renaming I do by hand if necessary (means no season and episodes number was available in EPG data) and then run Media-Buddy over the files. If they are too big (most TV recordings are way too big for the delivered quality) the videos are transcoded (to save space and bandwith) renamed to my preferred naming scheme and are enriched with local metadata (so called .nfo files) and local fanart (backdrops, cover, clearart, logo, banner,...) with only one mouse click... MP2 then uses those local metadata and fanart to import the videos properly without any extra online search... As far as I remember is SD not delivering XMLTV compatible data. You need a special plugin for TV server if you want to use SD (similar as with clickfinder for Germany). And this Schedules Direct plugin don't work in MP2, if I remember right... So you better test if you can use the SD data in MP2 at all before buying. [/QUOTE]
