I think I've finally gotten my EPG working completely, but my solution seems rather inelegant and I would love it if someone could suggest something simpler.

I have the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1800, which has an analog tuner and ATSC tuner. The apartment I live in provides "special" analog cable TV, consisting of a (renumbered) mixture of local channels, satellite channels, and in-building CCTV channels - about 25 in all; I have an antenna hooked up to the ATSC tuner. I have these two tuners entered as separate capture sources in GB-PVR's configuration.

The analog tuner's EPG source is XMLTV, for which I am using Yapi2XML. The eclectic mix of channels on my cable requires me to use DirecTV listings (identifying and remapping twenty-something out of several hundred channels is always fun), but I finally got it configured and working well.

Now, to find programming for my ATSC content, what I ended up doing is making a second copy of Yapi2XML, and told this one to look at the digital cable provider's listings and identify and remap the ~7 digital channels I can pick up with my flimsy FM dipole antenna (in the original Greek my name means "too cheap to buy an HDTV antenna"). GB-PVR looks for the XML listings in the second Yapi2XML location. I then modified my UpdateEPG.bat to run both copies of Yapi2XML.

Is there a better way? Has anyone successfully used multiple "lineups" in Yapi2XML (I see a drop-down option but it is grayed out) to pull listings from multiple providers into a single XML file that treats channels from multiple capture sources?

Update: apparently there is a slightly better way, as long as one provider has all the channels listed. I discovered that the digital cable source for my OTA DTV channels also happened to have all of my analog channels, so I was able to have Yapi2XML produce a single XML file. I still have to point to that file in both the analog and ATSC tuners under Capture Sources, but then with the digital channel remapper it worked quite well.
