Hello,
even if my english is quiete limited, I really enjoy the program from the BBC (S13.0E/S19.2E/S28.2E) which are FTA :-)
The only thing I miss is an epg of more than current and next.
Is it a limitation of VDR (I mean does it work for other receiver) or are the BBC only broadcasting current and next epg ?
I have internet access on my computer, maybe it could be a way to go, but I would find much cleaner from the sat.
I wanted to try something like loadepg, but version 0.1.12 fails with :
g++ -O3 -march=core2 -mtune=core2 -DPIC -pipe -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -fPIC -c -D_GNU_SOURCE -DPLUGIN_NAME_I18N='"loadepg"' -I/usr/src/CVS/multiproto/linux/include -I../../../include loadepg.c In file included from loadepg.c:9: loadepg.h:20:33: error: vdr/dvb_api_emulate.h: No such file or directory make: *** [loadepg.o] Error 1
And version 0.1.11 also fails.
g++ -O3 -march=core2 -mtune=core2 -DPIC -pipe -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -fPIC -c -D_GNU_SOURCE -DPLUGIN_NAME_I18N='"loadepg"' -I/usr/src/CVS/multiproto/linux/include -I../../../include loadepg.c loadepg.c: In member function `bool cLoadepgOsd::SwitchToEpgChannel()': loadepg.c:1057: error: no matching function for call to `cChannel::SetSatTransponderData(int, int, char&, int, fe_code_rate)' ../../../include/vdr/channels.h:226: note: candidates are: bool cChannel::SetSatTransponderData(int, int, char, int, int, int, int, int) make: *** [loadepg.o] Error 1
Which I didn't investigate further, because loadepg don't mention anything about BBC channels, so it's current incompatibiliy with multiproto isn't a real problem for me right now...
Any idea on how to have better epg for BBC channels ? If there is no other choices, I should give getskyepg.pl a try :-)

Hi Grégoire,
I use xmltv and xmltv2vdr I have a grab script that I run manually to get Radio Times data. When my vdr box will be dedicated I'll run it as a cron job every day at 3 a.m..
This way you have 10 days program in advance.
Cheers
Tony

Or, there's the FreeSat EPG that's currently testing on S28.2E, see:

[I've not looked into how to pull this information into VDR]
cheers,

Hello,
I found it quiete hard to make it work... every times I try it fails... even if I only choose only one channel :-)
I read about some epg being sent through sat, but it seems we are not so close to be able to fetch it sofar...
Thank for all answer, I shall try harder...

Hi Gregoire, I have not tried this myself, but Klaus provides a script called getskyepg.pl. It comes with each VDR. It parses the xml files from this page http://www.bleb.org/tv/data/listings/%5B-1-6] and it needs it's own channels.conf.sky to be able to work. Just take a look into the sky folder under path_to_VDR/PLUGINS/src/sky.
Let me know if it worked or not.
Good look. André

Problem is that Bleb no longer has all the channels, copyright problems. Thats why I no longer use it. I use the solution pointed out by Tony Grant, it works perfectly well. You can customize which channel's epg it should retrieve. During my VDR PC startup an init script tells the at daemon to run my get epg script after waiting a few seconds to allow VDR to start. So its totally asynchronous to VDR. I prefer not to have anything waiting for the epg script to finish, just in case. I can also call the same script from the OSD if required.

With just BBC1 to 4, ITV1 to 4 and Film4 it takes about three minutes to run.

True, thats about all the info I retrive too. But, I had the occasional hang due to networking problems, and it never actually timed out. That may have been using Bleb as a source instead of radio times, I can't remember now. Anyway my solution was to use the at daemon so as not do block other things should this script hang.

I think you can use TV_GRAB_DVB to convert the transponder data to XML then xmltv2vdr should work to get it into VDR.

Sorry, forgot to say: Via satellite they (BBC + ITV) only transmit current and next. I believe it comes from their history of having been a part of a Sky bouquet, I think there was a separate channel for all epg, or something similar.
