I believe that DVB-S/S2 for the UK is similar, although I have no personal experience of that. Not necessarily <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite12" alt="o_O" title="Er... what?    o_O" loading="lazy" data-shortname="o_O" />. The MP install procedure is quite clever, and (generally) does not replace or overwrite files that contain configuration settings from users.When you click "Save" on the WebEPG panel, I would expect WebEPG to write a config file containing your WebEPG settings, and that that file would not be overwritten when MP is updated to a newer release. But the proof of the pudding is in the eating, i.e. we won't know for sure until you install the next release. Of course, it would be prudent to copy the WebEPG config file somewhere else before installing the newer MP.<a href="https://digiguide.tv/products/windows.asp" target="_blank">This page</a> claims at least 14 days for the subscription service (£15 per year), but that statement may not be UK-specific (although the cost clearly is). For the free service, the limit may well be 7 days (it seems a likely restriction, as they want you to pay for the subscription service <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />).I would guess that the Auto Map function looks first for an exact match with the MP channel name, but if no exact match is found, WebEPG then uses some partial-match algorithm to find a match. Since MP allows you to modify the channel names displayed in the EPG (I have done this for various channels), correct mapping of channels cannot be guaranteed. But this is likely to be something that you need to correct only once (or when new channels are added, or when you modify the MP channel name). So initially you might need to spend some time correcting the mappings, but once done, only minor tweaks should be needed thereafter.I like the simplicity of using the broadcast EPG -- it is effectively "fit and forget" <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />. Internet EPGs can provide more details, or more days, but good EPGs are unlikely to be free (although still cheaper than buying a listings magazine each week).-- from CyberSimian in the UK</blockquote>
