[QUOTE="pclare, post: 174797, member: 55427"] I'm not sure why it should take anywhere near 14 minutes. In the UK, the entire EPG is broadcast on each MUX (as you say) with a repetition rate of around 280 seconds. So, it is possible to grab the entire EPG in under five minutes. If you want just the EPG for all services carried on the current transport stream then the repeat rate is even shorter. The only reason I can think of why it should take longer is if the signal is poor leading to CRC errors in the EIT data packets. I'm pretty new to MediaPortal so I don't know too much about the issues concerned with getting broadcast EPG data. But, for those having trouble with this it might be possible to make use of a broadcast EPG grabbing utility I wrote called [B]DVBGuide[/B]. This was intended to solve a specific problem I had getting Guide data into Windows MCE. But since it outputs XMLTV format files it has other uses too. More details and download of [B]DVBGuide [/B]here: [URL="http://www.geocities.com/pclareuk/DVBGuide/"]http://www.geocities.com/pclareuk/DVBGuide/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
