EPG Update Options

[squiggie]

Good afternoon everyone. First let me say that the resources on the wiki and here are great. I've found answers to the majority of my issues by searching. However the one issue that seems to be the most elusive is how to update EPG information using DVBGuide. I'm struggling here and am looking for some direction.

I understand that I will need to use dvbguide to grab the information from the channel I want and them mux them together. What I'm having issues with is actually using dvbguide and the documentation isn't terrible but a bit confusing. I'm issuing the following command per the wiki instructions

Code:

dvbguide -fX -aC -c193000 -e1800 -s6950 -oc:\DVBCollector\DVBC-EPG.xml

and I'm getting the following error. Error - NIT not found. Now as I understand it, I'll need to provide the frequency per channel that I wish to grab data from correct? Also, if so, how do I find the frequency per channel that is right? I can look at the FCC.gov site and get the frequency for all my local stations, or I can use the HDHomeRun Config GUI to look at the frequency for the channels, but I'm not sure really if I need to do all that. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, I looked into xmltv and that looked quite complicated as well. I also don't want to pay for this, if there is a free way to get it, so schedules direct is a very last option.

I don't think you can use utilities like dvbguide in the US. I'm pretty sure it only works in DVB countries.

From what I've read, it sounds like mc2xml is a pretty easy option in US/Canada.

Man I don't know why I didn't see that option first. It was considerably easier to setup and work than any of the others. Thanks for the suggestion.
