Whitey Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 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 Whitey Quote Link to comment

Spaniard Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I'm baffled by the cryptic replies also, perhaps an explanation would be more helpful! Quote Link to comment

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 Whitey Quote Link to comment

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. bb69 Quote Link to comment

Cian Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 wg++ for example: http://www.webgrabplus.com/ 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. C. Quote Link to comment
