Hi All
Australia
MC 26.0.30 64 bit
Win 10
HDHR tuner
OTA EPG
In these increasingly stay at home times I want to improve my Aussie TV EPG and hopefully include such things as TV series and episode info.
"mc2xml" stopped working December 31, 2019 but I gather Percdata and EPG123 are unavailable in Oz.
There does appear to be a reasonable TV guide through "Freeview Plus" but this does not appear accessible to MC? Even using my samsung TV tuner directly, there is no record option (you can set reminders and enter catch up tv but not record using freeview plus AFAIK
I can't find a lot of recent Aussie info on MC and EPGs so I was wondering what people are using and recommending, paid subscriptions or otherwise.
thanks
David

I'm using EPGCollector to collect OTA EIT data, and produce an XMLTV file, which I have MC import. It works fine, but the data isn't very good. However I do have EPGCollector set up to improve the data by doing additional metadata lookups. That helps, but much of the Australian EIT data is so bad that lookups can't add any data, like Season and Episode numbers. Sometimes it works though.
There used to be MHEG5 data available OTA, but Freeview removed that, or at least I think they did because it stopped working, and there were reports that Freeview were discontinuing it.
If you want really good data in Australia, sign up to IceTV. There is an XMLTV only subscription, which is a cheaper option than their full service. See https://store.icetv.com.au/xmltv
