[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 174800, member: 50013"] Thanks Peter - good to see you checking in here. It seems to be something to do with Sky; they seem to use their own proprietary 7 day EPG which is only available on an encrypted channel (or perhaps it's just that their EPG format is not publically available). Normal EPG data is available but it's only 'now-and-next' and each frequency/symbol rate/FEC combination has to be read if they include one of the channels you want to include. Unfortunately there are often 9 channels you don't need accompanying the one you do on each combination. My terrestrial DVB-T card has no problem grabbing the 7 Day EPG from a single mux so running this once a day would be quite sufficient. The satellite DVB-S card EPG grab has to be run at least once an hour just to show the current and next program for the satellite channels. I am toying with the idea of using your DVBguide to run automatically once a day to grab the DVB-T channel EPG data and setting MediaPortal to grab just the DVB-S ones more frequently. However, I've also requested separate update intervals for each card : [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/separate_epg_timing_different_cards-t27037.html"]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/separate_epg_timing_different_cards-t27037.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
