Yes, and if you read this chapter, it states: --- snip --- Digital TV transmission (DVB) DVB natively supports an EPG which is completely unrelated to Nextview EPG. A major difference between those two is that DVB EPG is provided by the respective networks themselves and covers at most several related networks (i.e. channels in the same bouquet), while Nextview EPG is provided network independently and usually covers all national networks in a country. --- snip --- So no, nxtvepg does not support the normal EPG of DVB-?. To just gather the epg I still think the easiest way is to install plain vdr and vdr-dummydevice as dummy output device, add a matching channels.conf. Then run it, trigger a epg scan and after some time stop vdr. Regards Matthias
