Tell us more about this Big Screen EPG. Is this the ultimate EPG solution and a should be incorporated into the mix to get most out of the MCE configs ?
See the thread here: http://www.xpmediacentre.com.au/community/big-screen-software/37329-big-screen-epg-v0-4-discussion-support-thread-14.html
It's beta software. Seems from the post above that ICE Tv can, subject to any legal issue, provide a lot of the full meta-data smarts in its native feed to WIN 7 - if they want to. Its just a question of implementation.
Big Screen would be essential if you were trying to process feeds from hundreds of disparate sources and needed to organise all that information. But ICE Tv only has to deal with a few Free To Air stations in Aus, so they should easily be able to apply all relevant data for WIN 7 directly into their feeds....most of it is already there as far as I can see...
Hi to try and answer those q's above :
Everything to do with Windows 7 / EPG is regarded as 'Beta' software because Windows 7 itself is still in beta (and may change

cheers

This sounds totally awesome. Don't have time to to read the Beta thread so I'll be one of those gys that comes out and shoots without doing their homework....
I'm happy to pay for quality EPG data with ICE. The Q is, Can Big Screen EPG software directly download the xml directly from ICE at scheduled intervals with my credentials, and do it's fixing and enchncing all in the one integrated cycle. This would be the ideal no? Why double handle the process with multiple layers if not needed.
