TVE3-EPG: Grab EPG Only Card Mapping
I just implemented a patch mcraenz has submitted to the sourceforge patches page. He has given a quite good description so i just quote him 
"In New Zealand (I suspect other countries too) we have a DVB-S service that
has no CAM so we have to use analog+blaster+STB; which is fine, however
what we have found is that the EPG is not encrypted and since many of us
have a DVB-S card pointing at the same sat for our FTA stuff we scan in the
encrypted channels, combine them with the STB analog channels, set the
analog card with higher priority than the DVB-S card and enjoy reliable EPG
data from the sat while watching the channel via analog from the STB.
This works very well however it poses a problem with scheduling /
conflicts; since the channel must be mapped to both analog and DVB-S TVE3
naturally assumes that it can play the channel from DVB-S which is not the
case."
I did only a small addition to his patch.
You can also toggle the "EPG only" flag by double clicking on the right (card) column in the channel->card mapping.
