I'm a newbie to Next PVR, but I'm a long time user of WMC and I have OTA setup running side by side with Next PVR on a Win 7 computer. I'm planning on shutting down the WMC as soon as I get NPVR doing everything I want. Here's one thing I have not been able to figure out how to do yet.

Concerning EPG on WMC - With Schedules Direct; I'm using OTA only, and I can manually add what I call a phantom station, such as ESPN, on an unused channel such as 50.1. Then the EPG will add it to the TV Guide listings. The whole idea was to be able to see what is playing, when, on ESPN or any other streaming tv channel (ESPN is just an example). I can add as many different phantom listings as I want. If you're wondering why I do this, It makes it convenient to see what is playing so I can switch to my smart tv and watch streaming channels there.

I have not been able to find a way to do this with NEXTPVR. I have the OTA channels working just fine with Schedules Direct EPG. Can someone point me in the right direction?

It should be possible to create a phantom IPTV channel. Create a .m3u file that contains a row for each phantom channel ...

You can put any old bollox as the http address cos you will never attempt to view or record using NextPVR and NextPVR will never discover that you have used a rubbish value.

Then goto NextPVR Settings ---> Devices --> IPTV and Import the m3u file.

Hey, Hey Hey! Thank Graham, you're advise and directions work splendidly. I do appreciate it. I was knocking myself out trying to figure that out. Your the man!
