[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1283033, member: 141969"] The "DVB EPG" relates exclusively to the broadcast EPG, and does not affect any of the other sources for the EPG (other than overwriting their programme details in the TV Server database if that option is selected). So selecting "Refresh DVB EPG" will not start WebEPG downloading its EPG from the internet. I specifically disabled the idle and timeshift DVB EPG grabbers before going to the WebEPG panel and clicking "Grab now" on the "General" tab. Grabbing started immediately (as you would expect). I have not tested the "Schedule" settings for WebEPG, so there might be a problem with those. If you click "Grab now" on the WebEPG "General" tab, and nothing happens, there must be a problem with your WebEPG config, or with WebEPG's access to the internet (firewall?). The "Grab status" line on the panel shows the progress of the grab, so it is easy to see if it is working. I don't know the significance of the numbers, although one might speculate that the files have to be numbered sequentially starting at one. So if you were to delete (or move elsewhere) the files for RadioTimes and Bleb, you might need to rename the Digiguide file so that it has a number of "1". The only reason to remove the RadioTimes and Bleb files is so that the "Auto Map" function will not try to match channels on those web sites. With only the Digiguide web site defined, Auto Map will be compelled to map channels on the Digiguide web site. Note: Auto Map does [b]not[/b] always choose the correct channels. e.g. in my "Film" channel group, for the "Paramount" channel Auto Map chose the incorrect "Paramount Comedy" (which is not available on DVB-T/T2). If the idle or timeshift DVB EPG grabber is enabled, channels which are missing from Digiguide will receive the broadcast EPG. Channels which are present in Digiguide will retain their Digiguide EPG descriptions if the "Do not update EPG entries" option is enabled on the DVB EPG grabber panel, [I]and[/I] the WebEPG grabber is run before the DVB EPG grabber when a new day's EPG becomes available. So in that way you can use both EPG sources, and retain the benefits of using Digiguide (more detailed info, series and episode numbers). This is an alternative way of using the broadcast EPG with an internet EPG. For the broadcast EPG, select only those channels that are missing from the internet EPG. This technique is more reliable than using the "do not update existing entries" option on the DVB EPG panel. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
