(I believe MP checks the tvguide.xml every minute or so, when you make a change and save it, mp believes it's a new file, and starts to import it. But you have to delete the old data first with the refresh EPG button, because I don't think the import overwrite the current guide data)
Must admit this aspect of the TVe3 seems just so "illogical" and so many steps for what should be a simple task.

It seems the refresh EPG doesnt actuallly do that, it just deletes the data out of the database. SO you end up with no data. Then you have to manually edit the XML file to trick the TVe3 into re-importing the data. Would be real nice to have it so that if yoiu refresh the EPG, it knows there is no data in the database, and thereis a valid XML file so grab it all again.
