[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1010191, member: 82144"] It is unfortunate that I no longer have access to a satellite dish. I should do some digging in our streams... You might have told me this before, but humour me and remind me again: why don't you use the EPG Collector and the XMLTV plugin? I know it doesn't get you LCNs, but with MP 1.3+ you can pretty much set and forget the LCNs. Pass. I'm only one person, and hence I have limitations to how much I can do and how fast I can do it. My attitude towards EPG is that it is secondary to having rock solid tuning and scanning. My hierarchy of priorities is something like: 1. Tuning and hardware support. 2. Scanning. 3. EPG data. 4. Configuration. Once I'm happy with our tuning, hardware support and scanning code I'll think about EPG grabbing (if somebody doesn't beat me to it). I can only report what I found. I use Transedit and examine the contents of the transport stream directly. As above, EPG with correct titles and descriptions should be possible already with the aid of the EPG Collector... but yes, it would be nice to have an integrated solution. How do you compile on W8? I know no more than what is written here: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/18_Contribute/4_Development/Building_MediaPortal_from_source/1_Git_Setup[/url] I run XP. :D [/QUOTE]
