Damn! - Just as I prepare to get npvr running on the main machine live, I find my EPG data has gone ![Sad Sad](https://forums.nextpvr.com/images/smilies/sad.png)
After much searching I found this on one of the unixy pvr mailing lists.

Quote:After yesterday's addition of over 100 new channels to the XMLTV
service, the listings generated were empty files. This has been
rectified in today's update, so listings should be working again
normally. The main beneficiaries of the new channels would seem to be
Freesat and Sky Digital users.
I have just committed an update to channel_ids which makes the new
channels available to tv_grab_uk_rt. Updates to the regional channels
and platforms mappings will follow over the next few days - this means
the new channels must be added manually to the grabber configuration
in the meantime if you want to use them.
A cursory glance over the data this morning and noticing a significant
increase in the number of scheduled recordings leads me to believe
that fairly significant changes have been made to many programme
descriptions, which may break duplicate detection in applications such
as MythTV. If you see a lot of programmes flagged to record in MythTV
which have been recorded previously and marked as duplicates, mark
them as "Never Record".
Additionally, many more programmes now have series/episode numbering
provided. The processing routines in the grabber handle most of these
but will need some tweaking to handle new formats seen today.
