[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 153672, member: 50013"] Well - I would do but as these are just explanations gleaned from the web I would hope that a developer could confirm that this is what they mean within MP. Would not want wish it to look more authoritative than it is. Also, I think there is an implied question here about whether changing any of these settings might improve anything. Several people - myself included - are having difficulties getting TV Server to pull in the EPG using the DVB streams. It would be really useful to know how these settings actually affect that. It has been suggested that increasing the EPG timeout from 10 mins to between 12-15 minutes might help but this has made no difference in my case. In my experience, the DVB EPG grabber just sits there doing nothing a lot of the time and gets stuck on one channel. Some people would say, "why don't you just use WebEPG or XMLTV?" and the answer is I do for most channels. However, there are several channels that don't have any web EPG data available and the DVB stream is my only hope. At the moment they sometimes get populated with one or two programs but appear blank the rest of the time. [/QUOTE]
