    is there a way to show episode info for freeview times only on those channels that only show on freeview during certain times of the day?

    example, uktv history only airs on freeview between 7am and 6pm, but when i use webepg to get the listings it gets the full day (as it would be on sky/cable). so is there a way to only get the listings for the channel between 7am and 6pm, and just left blank during the other times?

    any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

    Use the DVB-T Grab over air function, then you will get correct Freeview info, the other info is from sky listings, where uktvhistory runs 24\7.

    Similar for quite a few others Virgin1 for example.

    Unfortunately you only get 7 days typically with Freview EPG, against a possible 14 days via WebEPG.

    that's great PD.

    i've tried the dvb epg before, but thought it wasn't working... i was probably not waiting long enough :p

    anyways now i've taken virgin 1 and uktv history off the web epg config list and ticked the box in mp config to pick up the dvb epg too.

    so for virgin1 and uktv history it uses over the air guide and for the rest of the channels i use web epg.

    Best of both worlds :D
