I'm fairly new to Tvheadend but must say im very impressed with how well its all worked setting everything up after a few nightmare attempts with MythTV. However, I have one niggle with the EPG that hopefully someone can help with.
I'm using old Sky dish to pickup Freesat in the UK and everything has scanned in fine. But if I boot the HTPC at a time when certain channels aren't broadcasting (specifically BBC Four / Three) it will not show anything in the EPG for these, although they are listed in the channel list. I'm assuming this is something to do with it not broadcasting and not having any 'event' to pick up and show as later in the night it will magically appear. This makes sense I guess but is there any way to force it to show in the EPG?
Im one of those annoying people that still sometimes turns boxes off and if I come home early evening and want to record something later on on that channel I can't select it in XBMC to setup the recording. Is there any way to force this or will I have to just wait for it to be picked up one night and constantly leave the box on? I have both OTA UK Freesat and DVB EIT grabber selected in TVheadend.
Its a fairly new build box at the moment and im still getting ontop of settings for power saving and standby etc plus couple with being away from home a few days at a time I don't really want to leave it on 24/7 just yet.
