If you are downloading Rytec EPG data, it doesn't matter whether you download it using CrossEPG downloader or EPG Importer, it is the same data.

Anybody wanting to have the incorrect/missing assignments fixed should report these to the Rytec team.

The sources and database used for cross referencing are two different items. Once people report the required changes, they are corrected in a very timely manner.

If the EPG data is available on the internet and can be fetched with programs like webgrab, the Rytec team can obtain it. They will then associate it with the service reference. People on another forum kept on saying EPG is wrong, but nobody bothered to report it.

Misunderstanding, perhaps? In my experience the sources (whatever you wanna call them) from the net being faulty/flawed/inaccurate - there is nothing Rytec or anyone writing those plugins can do about it...

I already showed it above, I can demonstrate some more, if you wish... ;)

You are probably right, inasmuch as they could polish some things...

But the obvious problems, like content - well, not up to them...

It is true, sometimes the data collected is inaccurate, most of the time this data is collected from TV guide websites, who in turn get data off official outlets like the broadcaster themselves, but sometimes the broadcaster only host channels that are not there own. Changes to the scheduled programme line up are often made last minute, and by the time the tv guide website is updated, and the data collected and passed on to us the "end user " it can be wrong. (normally 24 - 48 hours later)

IMO we are spoilt with just how much data we have on e2 across multiple sats, cable etc etc, it is no easy task collecting and maintaining thousands of channels / serv ref. OpenTV data or epg data found on the satellite stream is always going to be the most accurate where it is available. But when that is not possible i will take whatever is on offer...

Nothing to do with me. Doglover will only add European ones.

Someone has to grab the data. Maintain the service reference-cross referencing. Host them on the internet. This will become an extra source that people can add. I am sure Doglover will advise on all that is required. Will need webgrab + etc. Some members on this site ( jenseneverest) did a similar thing for Virgin, so they should be able to advise too.
