    Is there a way to change the guide to show columns of 30 minutes instead of 15? Also could it display 6 columns?

    The TV guide has predefined time spans of 15 min, 30 min, 45 min and 1 hr, use the time span arrows (near the date arrows above the channel column). I believe the number of columns would have to be changed in the skin xml.

    I was afraid of that. I don't use the guide often, but I thought other skins had 30 minute, 1 hour, 1.5 hour and 2 hour columns. I guess I'll just live with it.

    That would be the 30 min time span. You apparently have the 15 min time span set. the 45 min time span is kinda useless. but the hour time span would have 1, 2, 3 and 4 hour columns. adjustable with the time span arrows.

    OK. What I was trying to describe is the 30 minute time span. Where do I set that?

    use the time span arrows (near the date arrows above the channel column). just move left to the channel column, then up to the date arrows, the either up, left or right (depending on the skin) to hi-lite the span buttons.

    Now I've got it. I only use a remote usually and since I can't get to those without a mouse I never noticed those. Thanks for the great description of where the setting is.

    Hi toricred - Yeah it has never been easy to access those arrow buttons via remote. IIRC the fwd/rev buttons for most remotes are set by default to change the time period. If not set for your mreote, you can program one using the actions "Increase Timeblock' or 'Decrease Timeblock' when in the TVGuide window. I usually change Skip and Replay buttons to change days (TVGuide Increase/Decrease Day action)

    Your observation is correct mate. Last time this happened the fires of hell invaded all shopping centers... this time I seem to be the only one in need - which is quite uncomfortable at best. I guess I should look for an alternate solution until and if other MP users realize they have no guide listings. Thank you for chiming in...

    I made some updates to the Wiki page describing the <import> and <include> tags, including adding a couple of new xml examples. For the first example, I highlighted the example text and eventually found the location in the menus where I could select the CODE macro to have the example text formatted as a code example. So far, so good...
