[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1253171, member: 141969"] The point to remember about the broadcast EPG in the UK is that all MUXes contain the EPG for all channels (although not in the same order). So you need to tune to [i]only one channel[/i] in order to receive the full EPG for all TV channels and all radio channels. I recommend "BBC1" or "BBC1 HD". The time to acquire a full EPG is variable -- it may take up to 10 minutes to receive the EPG, then perhaps 5-20 minutes to update the SQL database. My system has an HDD (not an SSD), so it tends to be at the 20-minute end of the range. To receive the EPG, there are two choices: (1) Receive EPG only when no tuners are in use. (2) Receive EPG only when receiving a programme (live TV or recording). You can select (1), or (2), or both. You need (2) to receive last-minute programme changes. However, I use only (1), as (2) [i]possibly[/i] caused some problems on my system. Both (1) and (2) have a refresh interval that you can specify. If the EPG has not been refreshed within that interval, "TV Server" will refresh the EPG at the first opportunity thereafter. So you will sometimes notice that your HTPC continues running after you have finished using it. This is because "TV Server" is refreshing the EPG. Your HTPC will sleep when the refresh is finished. If "PowerScheduler" is defined to wake up overnight (to receive the EPG via the internet), that can be continued or discontinued. If continued, "TV Server" will receive the broadcast EPG overnight, and then sleep. If discontinued, "TV Server" will receive the broadcast EPG when the HTPC is next woken (by the user, or for a recording). Don't forget to [i]disable[/i] WebEPG!
