Hey,

I have a little issue with my EPG.

I have cyberlink Powercinema 6 on my machine and Freeview HD is working Brilliantly on the HVR3000.

However the EPG is only showing like 3 or 2 episodes ahead of time.

Sometimes Channel 3's EPG does not even pop at all with the programs.

I have had a look at the hidden settings in Powercinema 6 and I still cant find out why it is not showing all the shows.

I have full signal to the site in Mt Te-Aroha so no issues there, is it just the software thats making the problems?

Anyway any help would much be appreciated!

Unfortunately, this has nothing to do with Powercinema or any other software.

Freeview only transmit (on average) the Now/Next data over EIT (what your software will be looking at).

Freeview only transmit the full epg over MHEG-5, which as far as I know, no software can currently read or extract the data from this. :(

If you want a full epg. you will have to use an XMLTV source (from the web), but I'm not sure if Powercinema supports XMLTV.

I dont think It does......
I quite surprised it doesn't especially since I have the latest version.
Hopefully Cyberlink make it MHEG-5 compatible so internet is required.

If you have a satellite dish pointing at Optus D1 then an EPG can be got via DVB-S freeview (using the satellite part of your HVR-3000). Not sure if you can merge terrestrial and satellite in Powercinema as I gave up on Powercinema a long time ago and have stuck with MediaPortal (and lately Windows 7 MC).
