Thanks Stephen,

I installed epgsnoop, it works with DVB-T channels?

I just try with DVB-S:

$ epgsnoop

Processing packets: 04364
Total programs:     470
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE tv SYSTEM "xmltv.dtd">
<tv generator-info-name="epgsnoop/0.84"
generator-info-url="http://launchpad.net/epgsnoop"
date="20140424232536 ">
</tv>

I copy the "channels.conf.sky" file, I don't have any of this channel,
so I will try to create a channels.conf with my DVB-T channels.

Thanks.
