EPG123 not working

[jbamford92]

Hi. I followed the guide for EPG123 but doesn't seem to work I keep getting guide listings cannot be downloaded at this time. Would anyone have any ideas? I am using Freesat with the DVBSkyS952 everything works except the listings.

Thanks.

Where is this error occurring? It is not a message from epg123, so is it coming from WMC?

The relationship between epg123 and WMC is one-way ... epg123 imports the data in the WMC database, but WMC is not aware of epg123. In other words, WMC cannot direct a guide update from epg123.

That does sound like an error from within Media Center - when you attempt an on demand download. I suggest you take another look at the setup guide.

I think UK satellite setup is a bit tricky (even when EPG123 is not a factor), due to the need to run multiple scans. It would be great if a Freesat user could provide a step-by-step guide for inclusion in your guide.

Hi managed to get it working after some tinkering. But the problem I'm facing is the channel names and frequencies. Turns out that channels are not named correctly wrong channel number and wrong channel frequency not sure what the problem is.

I totally agree... most tuners are very similar in setup but when you get to the satellite tuners, and possibly DVBLink, I have no clue what or how anything happens. I would love to find out without having to buy even more hardware to do my own testing.

I gotta admit, I'm a little confused now. If the lineup you selected from Schedules Direct is not the same one you receive, then the automatch feature in epg123 should be disabled. With the automatch disabled, you are the one in control of matching the tuner channel with the station and listings.

Epg123 does not add/create tuner channels so I have no control over the transponder frequencies assigned to channels ... there is a large gap in my knowledge in the proper setup of WMC in this case.

I shall try with the Automatch feature disabled. Sorry about this I do not know much about EPG123 so I may come across a bit dumb. I have noticed that the Frequencies are different in EPG123 than in WMC I think that's the problem.
