Alright its been a while since my last post. I have changed my EPG-Collector to only one frequency and now the radio stations and I think the Kordia channels now show "." in the guide. The in-band keeps overwriting the EPG-Collector EPG what else can be done? If I disable mcglidhost.exe in msconfig or in the services in control panel what else will be effected?

I believe you won't be able to scan for channels.

Just a thought. You have tried extending the timeout for data collection? I know this was a problem for me although I finished up with random sections with no data at all rather then .'s Media centre PC - Case Silverstone LC16M with 2 X 80mm AcoustiFan DustPROOF, MOBO Gigabyte MA785GT-UD3H, CPU AMD X2 240 under volted, RAM 4 Gig DDR3 1033, HDD 120Gig System/512Gig data, Tuners 2 X Hauppauge HVR-3000, 1 X HVR-2200, Video Palit GT 220, Sound Realtek 886A HD (onboard), Optical LiteOn DH-401S Blue-ray using TotalMedia Theatre Power Corsair VX Series, 450W ATX PSU OS Windows 7 x64

The dots are definitely WMC collecting EIT data.

I think may just try disabling that exe file @ nety when it runs when scheduled, scheduler says that completed successful (0x0) or something like that and when I run it manually it also says exit (0) or whichever code means successful will report back in a few days

This is timeouts during data collection. It does not cause the process to error out it just stops all the data being collected. The process the end code will be 0. The setting I am talking about is under advance and is the data collection option (sec) option. I think it is 30 seconds by default. I increased mine to 120 seconds. I do not think disabling that service is going to correct your issue as it is not necessary for anyone else.

Hi, I dont think its the actual EPG collection causing the error more the inband keeps over writing it even thou in the guide listings it says ie tv one-EPG collector. Does anyone in Wellington, receiving from Kaukau have an EPG-Collector.ini that I could have to eliminate the collection as an issue?

You can tell if the actual collection has worked by checking the log. At the end of a collection there is a list of stations and the number of records collected for each one. All your stations should be listed and there should be no gaps.

Well against all advice I renamed mcglidhost.exe and totally stuffed up quite a few things. I did a system restore to a few days ago, full channel rescan and ran EPG-Collector, and now I have a properly populated EPG, so I dont know what happened but it seems to be behaving itself for the last few days. On a side note, who knows or where can I find out exactly which Freeview channels are available in Wellington, Im getting channels such as tvCentral and TV Rotorua.
