Hi Rob, I think xmltv2vdr.pl might be a better place to start for what you are trying to achieve... as you can point it at a TV listing web site and extract all the EPG data for the channels listed apparently based on my reading of threads on this list that is!

I like the idea of this, but I am wondering how we could adapt it to create channel lists for other networks. As an idea what about parsing a webpage from lyngsat for Sky UK channel numbers and ordering the channels in that way, or Sky Italia, TPS etc. Or even all of them, but having a 1 in front.. so channel 1101 Would be BBC 1, but 2101 Rai Uno etc.. Or is this a silly idea..? I will look over the script a bit later.. :-) -- Latest news on http://www.streetcredo.org.uk/rob Rob Davis _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
