Hi all
I have spent a fair while setting up EPG Collector that scans the OTA DVBT signal for all upcoming shows encoded within. I personally prefer this to a service, it seems more likely to be accurate. It is on sourceforge and the creator sure has some understanding and skill to make such a freeware configurable piece of software. The main thing is the initial what do I do feeling. So in a nutshell you run one program to setup and test your ini file until happy then there is another that you setup in task scheduler to run once per day roughly. You can just use this .ini file if in Perth, otherwise change the frequencies in the tuning tab for your state/region. Point the .xml file it makes somewhere you can find and point the PleX to it during DVR setup. The author, Steve Bickell, tweaked with fix pack 12 to address getting it to make Plex friendly episode tags.
See this post to get the version and see some history. Post
This a good guide too but my setup a bit different. Reddit
Here is my .ini, not perfect but does what I need for now. I have the HDHomerun tuner in house.EPG Collector Perth Plex.rar (1.2 KB)
