Hi Ronni Unfortunately that Elgato reference ONLY applies to subscription EPG - not the free DVB guide.
Since cancelling IceTV, the only information in EyeTV Preferences > Guide is “Service: None (with a scroll box to select IceTV, Gracenote, etc) plus text “Online EPG services will not be used. DVB program guide data will be used when available.” I’ve noted that the Free-to-Air guide displayed on the television receiver does automatically update with future programs, so there is a difference in data being received by the TV and EyeTV. (Using an EyeTV DTT Deluxe, and a fairly new high gain digital antenna and new internal cabling, if this is significant.)
