[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1285982, member: 141969"] Thank you for adding this info. (y) My experience is with the UK DVB EPG, where each MUX transmits the EPG for its own channels, plus the EPG for all of the channels in all of the other MUXes. So only one channel needs to be selected for grabbing. I expect (but don't know for certain) that there are countries in the world where each MUX is owned by a different provider, and as a result each MUX transmits only the EPG for its own channels. Hence one channel [i]from each MUX[/i] needs to be selected in order to obtain a complete EPG. I suggested in my previous post grabbing from only one channel, and then reviewing the EPG in the MP client to see if all channels had EPG info (i.e. like the UK), or whether only a subset had EPG info. If the latter is the case, it would be necessary to determine the EPG provision in more detail. This might mean grabbing from one channel in each MUX, or possibly grabbing from one channel from each provider. (If each provider owned more than one MUX, you would not need to grab from one channel in each MUX, merely from one channel from each provider.) What is [i]definitely[/i] a bad idea is grabbing from every channel in every MUX. :eek: -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
