[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1302698, member: 141969"] Hmm. This is very puzzling. Some thoughts: (1) Your "xmltv" folder looks OK -- it contains what I would expect. (2) The xml version in "TvGuide.xml" is "1.0" in the tv guide that was created when I used EPG Collector to grab the DVB-T EPG, so I think that "1.0" is OK. (3) Your "EPG Collector.ini" file is surprisingly large -- 39 KBytes, whereas mine is only 311 bytes. I did not specify what channels to grab, so perhaps that makes a difference? I grabbed all of the DVB-T channels (178 channels, containing 17349 programmes), but if there are thousands of satellite channels available, it would not be practical to grab all of them. Here is my "ini" file: [code][GENERAL] Output=C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\xmltv\TVGuide.xml Timeouts=10,300,5,1,50 Option=AddSeasonEpisodeToDesc,ValidEpisodeTag [DVBT] TuningFile=UK.Rowridge.xml ScanningFrequency=498000,8,EIT Location=GBR,0 InputLanguage=eng Charset=x-cp20269 Option=UseFreeSatTables[/code] (4) Sadly, I don't have any other ideas. EPG Collector and XmlTv worked for me with DVB-T, and previously worked for you with DVB-S. So I don't think that there is a problem with EPG Collector, XmlTv, or MP. It must be an error in your configuration. but I don't know what it might be.
