BigDish kills EPG

[rockhead]

I have cable and a BUD (BigUglyDish). The channel naming format for 4DTV (big dish digital) consists of a character + digit for the satellite followed by three digits for the channel.

I suspect that this five (or six if there's a space) character channel name is killing the database or some related datahandler and causing the EPG to fail. I can set it up with my cable, no problem. When I add the satellite channels it tries to load and then says that it encountered an "error".

I would dearly like to be able to EPG record my (stupendous quality) big dish programming. Any suggestions ?

Thanks Glenn

xmltv or zap2it?

Zap2it.
I had originally both sets of channels under one account. That exploded on setup. I then split the cable off to a seperate account, it worked ! Yay. Then I tried to run the satellite channels together(with cable) and solo, no joy :mad: .

Thanks for your help, Glenn
