What you need to make sure of is that the two copies both have the same callsign and that they both have the same EPG data. If it works sometimes it probably means your callsigns are correct but you are loading data from two different sources and it's subtly different. For example maybe you are using EIT for the FreeView source and downloading data for terrestrial. One source has (for example) "Dr Who" and the other has "Doctor Who". If the channel numbers for the two copies for the channels are also the same (along with the callsigns) then the interface will only show one copy of the channel and you'll never see the discrepancy.
<br><br>However you're getting the EPG data, I'd advise you to get a single xml file with all the data for all the channels you get (terrestrial and Freeview) and load that file against all video sources.<br><br>Cheers,
