I gave this a go last night and managed to eventually get it working.
I have a couple of questions though I'm hoping people can answer that will clear a few things up for me.

1. I think in order to get the EPG data showing successfully initially I needed to clear the database in MediaPortal settings. Will I need to do this each time? I'm assuming not and that perhaps I may have had to do it initially because I was pulling data from the DVB stream.

2. Once I have set up all the channels in the Channel Setup and Groups tab, from then on I only need to click on the Download New Data Now button to get an updated EPG? Ie: I don't need to clear the databse or Reset Grid again?

3. Just wondering what people's preferences are between JRobbo or Wktivo (ozTiVo). I don't have pay TV. I have regisitered for ozTiVo, but ended up using JRobbo during the testing last night.

And a final question not related to the downloader itself. Is it possible to easily set up a recording for a channel between specific times if you don't have EPG info for the channel? Is there a screen or something where you can either enter in times or modify times of a programmed recording?

Thanks all.
