EPG Troubles - Need it for Recording

    Howdy folks...I am currently using a TBS 8920 to recieve freesat and am also using nova t 500 dvb-t for rte

    When i had my sat pointed at 19.2 i had no problem getting an epg for that sat and for rte dtt but ever since i have recieved 28.2e and tuned it in as well as retuning the dtt (no choice but to retune it) ive lost most of the dtt epg for some reason.

    Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit WMC
    TBS 8920 DVB S2 pci
    Nova T DVB T stick
    I selected ireland as the dtt region
    I have a compatible tuner with mpeg4 and mpheg5 capibility
    I updated the guide listings via windows media centre options manually

    All of that to no avail...one dtt radio station and the dtt version of tg4 shows up with an epg and the rest of the dtt channels show none (before when i was pointed at astra 19.2e i got the dtt epg as well as astra 19.2e)

    Could this have anything to do with media centre mixing up the epg with the rte encrypted service epg on astra 28.2 or recognising the rte service on 28.2 over the dtt version?

    EPG shows up for over half the freesat channels but others are missing as well so its not just the Saorview EPG missing but still the Saorview EPG is the one i really need

    Any insight or help is appreciated :D

    Just saw this in another thread:

    I spent a while going through all the channels and fixing the EPG to work on all channels when I setup my HTPC running Vista. Was a royal pain in the ass.

    Then I installed Win7 and was going to have to do the same again - I wasn't looking forward to it. Came across this FREE software:
    http://1geek1tool.com/guidetool
    It's excellent - easy to use and so quick to setup the channels.
    It allows you to edit channels/guide much quicker than using the Media Centre interface.

    On my system, all channels have an EPG except ITV4+1 ... I can't find an guide for that channel!

    Nice temp solution for the DTT TV cheers but does anyone know why this is happening or any other sources for the DTT Radio channels and will microsoft look into this?

    I'm not sure what the procedure is, if any, for reporting errors like this.
