I don't use either MP or MC. I developed my own. I just use MC for testing as EPG Collector has features for importing directly into it.
There are no categories or genres broadcast with the MHEG5 data.
If you switch on the metadata lookup in EPG Collector you will get genres added to the programs but they probably won't match what MP is expecting which is probably the EIT genres.
It's a problem I'm thinking about as it applies to colour coding in MC as well.
GoodSync. Easily back up and sync your files with GoodSync. Simple and secure file backup and synchronisation software will ensure that your files are never lost (affiliate link).
samsam: yep those are my settings and it comes up empty each time...
What kind of LNB do you have? I would suggest using 12750 instead of 11700 for the LNB switch setting. Otherwise if you have one of the Sky dual D1 + D3/C1 LNBs, you're probably unintentionally forcing the LNB to switch to the wrong satellite.

I do have two cables running into the house from the satellite. I tried your suggestion but the channel scan still comes up blank. EPG in Media Center is working well.

Can you do a scan and then post the EPG Collector log file. Clear it first to keep the size down.
I've tried with the other tuners and get the same result. It is 2x Dual tuners, they all get reception as i am able to record 4 channels at once in media center
I can answer that one.. on the Output tab tick Create data for channels with the same name. I had the same issue which SJB sorted with the that option. It is caused by the regional channels which have empty EPG data stuffing it up.

Not sure about Prime though - they only broadcast one channel, they don't do regional broadcasts.
Also the radio stations, Trackside and the Asian channels may not be broadcasting series links so the programs won't be marked as part of a series unless you tick Flag all programs as part of a series on the Output tab.

Try LNB parameters 1075/1075 and 0 in the switch for a channel scan.
Press the Default button a couple of times and they should be filled in for you.
