[QUOTE="globaldonkey, post: 309929, member: 49844"] @ coopers Yeah I couldn't get it to work (ie using the two sources), so I stuck with just using WebEPG / xmltv for getting the data in. The main reason I started looking at using two different sources was because the default xml files in WebEPG are only configured to grab the standard channels - no HD channels. I spent some time tweaking the WebEPG xml's for the yahoo guide so I could get the AUS HD channel guides, so if that's the reason you want to split the sources let me know and I can send you some updated xml's. They are tweaked for QLD, but you'll get the idea if in another state. I did read in Big Kev's OZ TV Grabber for TV Server thread that somebody had got that grabber working in conjunction with DVB-T EPG. Here's the link to the post: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/electronic-program-guide-67/epg-downloader-service-tv-server-only-32166/index6.html#post268614[/url] EDIT: I have just tested using both Big Kev's grabber and XMLTV with DVB grabbing and it works. The trick is to make sure whatever TV Server mappings you make in Big Kev's grabber or in XMLTV do not overlap with the channels you turn on for DVB grabbing under TV Channels | TV EPG Grabber. And of course, make sure you enable DVB grabbing under General | EPG. I suspect the recommended setting in XMLTV of deleting old programs before import will cause a bit of bother though, as it will clean out the guide for the DVB channels as well, and that may take some time to rebuild the guide for the DVB channels, depending on the refresh setting. Best bet may be turn off this setting. Similarly, refreshing the EPG from Manual Control in TV Server would also dump the entire EPG. [/QUOTE]
