I think you'd have to match against network id, to localise it a bit, then get all the matching xmltvids for the station name, then localise it down further with the service ids. So for us in the uk we'd have 9018 BBC1 bbc1-bbc.co.uk 4164 beeb.icon 9018 BBC1 bbc1-north.bbc.co.uk 4168 beeb.icon Or is that complete gibberish ? -- John
