[QUOTE="robbo100, post: 820853, member: 91446"] If you use the search function on the forum, you can find a number of methods. This is a link to one of them: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/xmltv-137/epg-setup-guide-megaepg-57370/[/url] This problem is a little more complicated and is actually a problem with Windows rather than with MediaPortal.
