HELLLPPP!!! Can't get DVBEpg to populate

I experimentally installed DD 1.3c a few days ago And then MT and then changed through virtually all available DVB programs and various EPG'S in an attemt to find the best of all worlds. After days of struggle I settled on DD with DVBEpg as it proved the best in all respects. At the beginning I had the EPG working flawlessly and fell in love with it's search features. After all these changes I needed to straighten out windows so I reloaded and reinstalled every Codec and program that I had started with, but now DVBEpg will not populate at all. Before, simply tuning to Military channel or any other on the right transponders and it would populate up to four days worth in a very short time, now nothing. I suspect that a dll or something is now missing but have no clue where to start looking or what program was responsible for getting all the necessary bits and pieces into the system in the first place. Also possibly something different in the DVBEpg ini. I did notice that the ini has a statement to set the dvbcore parser if used in MT but there is no line to set the EIT parser. I don't know if that is normal or what the syntax would be if it is missing a line. A text of an ini from a known working installation might help, and any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. A list of all necessary dll's and such would be great if anyone has that info.

Problem solved!!!

Well it always is the small things you overlook. When I reloaded Windows I used a streamlined disc in full unattended mode. Apparently the cmos clock had gotten reset and the date was wrong, and I never saw it. I guess it is a bit hard to populate an EPG when the system sees all the data as being four days old!

:lol: :lol: :lol: In this case, populate the EPG database is not tricky, but displaying the data for current day should be a little bit more difficult :wink:
