The first tryout version of the EPG Collector is available for download on Sourceforge. It is in the form of a Windows Installer package.
It is a command line utility designed for running overnight to collect EIT or MHEG5 data and create an XMLTV format file. it has been briefly tested on XP/Vista/W7 (32 and 64 bit) for both DVB-S and T.
It has not been seen to work with a hybrid card (HVR 3000) so if someone could try it again it would be appreciated. Don't expect too much though.
Typical run times are as follows:
Freeview MHEG - 40 secs Freeview EIT - 1 min Sky EIT - 6 min.
The code will be open source in in the very near future.
All feedback appreciated. I've got a thick skin so criticise away.
