Sky UK EPG

[Whitey]

Can DVBViewer be setup to use Sky UKs full 7-day epg?

 

At the moment I only get the now and next information for channels in transponders that I have tuned into.

 

AIUI Sky UK uses a MHW type epg broadcast on the default transponder.

 

Thanks

I'm baffled by the cryptic replies also, perhaps an explanation would be more helpful!

I use the "MyXMLTV" plugin to convert an XMLTV file that I download from the radiotimes to use with DVBViewer. With this you get most of the more popular channels

Sorry to bump a very old thread, but I'm thinking of buying / installing DVBViewer, but I want to be sure that it will be able to provide a 7 or 14 day EPG for the Sky UK encrypted channels such as Sky Sports etc.

Is someone able to confirm that it is possible to get a Sky UK EPG in DVBViewer?

Also, you are able to do this, what app do most people use to do this? (I did a search for "MyXMLTV" and couldn't find much up-to-date information on it.

 

Thanks in advance for any replies.

DVBViewer cannot natively get the Sky EPG, but it can get the Freesat EPG. To get the Sky EPG you need to use a seperate program that either gets it from the web or from satellite and them imports it into the Recording Service. In some cases you need to use two programmes - one to gather the dat and one to import the data. Most people use a timer in recording service to launch the EPG grabber so that once it is configured, you never have to think about it again.

 

I use EPG Collector. It grabs the EPG from satellite and automatically devliers it to the Recording Service. I personally find it the easiest to use.
