[QUOTE="rhubarbe, post: 187495, member: 185819"] I am going down the route of $ky (paid subscription) on a non-$ky receiver (I have quite a few I could use), but I'll lack a decent EPG, because the BBC et al channels only display now and next, and the $ky channels are just a big blank. I was looking for a Media Highway EPG on 28.2 but I guess there isn't one. I do have some software TAPs that I could use on one of my Topfield receivers and I think I could get Radio Times data for at least my preferred 30 channels this way. Another option would be to buy a second hand $ky+ PVR2 box and upgrade the HDD, but the thing wouldn't record unless I either paid a tenner a month or subscribed to Sports or Movies and I'm not interested in them. I did want to see if I could use just one box for all the TV, and get rid of our Freeview PVR: I am fairly sure that this would have a high WAF and I'd be happy to trade in some of my gear for a dm7025 to do what I want to do on it. I suppose at the end of the day I could earn more than it'd cost to buy $ky+ if only I spoent more time working and less looking at ways of not having to pay an extra tenner a month for $ky+. :| It's just, well, you know. Does anybody know any other method of achieving a reliable EPG with data for several days on 28.2°E? [/QUOTE]
