Yes the green light is on when I connect.
In this order:
uninstall tvserver
delete db
uninstall tv client
uninstall rc1
uninstall oztvguide (unnecessary i know)
delete /programfiles/team-mediaportal
delete /programfiles/oztvguide (again unnecessary)
reboot
install rc2
install svn
install tvserver
install client
install oztvguide
configure tv server
configure MP
configure and import oztvguide <-- this is when I get the error
start mp and I get the logos in the tvguide but no data
I'll have a few drinks tonight and do it all over again. I seem to get more consistant results after a couple of beers.

If it works fine for you, then I probably did something wrong along the way.
