You can use iPlayer and TVCatchup through a VPN setup, all you need is a UK IP at the other end, several companies are offering such a service. I have seen it advertised for about $11 US per month.

MP1 MP2 epg problem DE
Hi xallias :) If there is no grabber for your country (I did not verify this), then you can try the xmltv plugin. According to google, you can download xmltv file for your country here. If you get it going, we can later work on a cmd file to auto-download. Pages to read in the manual.

I think you've just found out the hard way why you should use it ;) As nitro said, do a complete uninstall (including SQL) and start from scratch with 1.0 Final. Also make sure you check out the requirements section and...
