Need FREE TV Guide for Puerto Rico

PRGUY85 · 2007-12-24, 15:07

Hey:

I recently bought a Hauppauge TV Tuner (PVR-150) to have TV functionality on my existing desktop. I installed Mediaportal as it was the free Media Center alternative that sounded most enticing. However I am having problems in getting a free TV Guide for it. I have a zap2it account (didn't pay anything for it) and in their page, I can see all my TV listings from their account, however the Zap2it plugin crashes Mediaportal. If anyone knows of a FREE alternative to TV Guide for Puerto Rico, please let me know.

Thanks.

Hello PRGUY85,

Thanks for the info. The program generated the xml file and the Mediaportal configuration is setup to use the xml file however I get a blank tv guide inside the Mediaportal main program. Any ideas?

level20peon · 2007-12-24, 16:33

No, are you using MediaPortal or the TV-Server for watching TV ?

Mediaportal 0.2.3

Any help? I can see programs on the Search area, yet my TV Guide is empty...

Please be patient.

See my signature for a guide of setting up XMLTV configuration. Maybe you missed something. Maybe you used the wrong folder. If this doesn't help post your logs please (\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\logs).

Hmm, I followed the guide but I still have the same results. I am in the logs folder, which document should I post here?

I don't know for sure since I never used EPG importing in the client. Post everything then

But don't post it as plaintext but use the attachment function.
