EPG Collector users are running into a specific issue when downloading program icons from the epg.best service. You have set the import tab to store images locally for both channels and programs; however, the program icons do not appear in your local folders. This problem likely stems from a recent change in how epg.best formats their XMLTV files.

The error occurring in your EPG Collector log indicates a problem with the MHEG5 data stream coming from the broadcaster. Specifically, the DSMCC Parser is hitting an IndexOutOfRangeException. This means the software is looking for a piece of data at a specific position in an array, but that position does not exist. Because you haven't changed your Windows 7 setup or the PC hardware, the issue likely comes from a change in the broadcast signal itself. You can find reliable data at epg.best to keep...

User frustrations often peak when a setup that worked for months suddenly fails. This specific case involves a dual-system environment where one unit fetches data while the other displays an empty guide. Windows Media Center persists in claiming that listings are unavailable for the current time. The inclusion of log files from the Greekzone folder offers a great starting point for the community to help. Accurate TV listings are the backbone of any customized schedule.

There is no automated way within WMC itself to resolve call sign discrepancies across repeated rebuilds. While TVGuide.mxf supports channel and subchannel numbers, simply modifying the file sometimes fails to enforce the pairing during a regular guide update. For personalized channel setup, users consider using a service like epg.best. This service allows users to define the channels they want, ensuring the guide only presents relevant content.

The shift in the SKY NZ satellite broadcasting setup is probably the root cause. When a provider alters its transmission parameters, such as changing satellites, transponders, or modulation schemes, the old configuration becomes useless. EPG Collector depends on these specific technical details to find and parse the electronic program guide data. If SKY NZ completed a satellite change, this would certainly interrupt the data collection process. Until you can get EPG Collector pointing to the correct...
