[QUOTE="moab, post: 387954, member: 73157"] I have a similar issue. I have 1600 HVR + Comcast + Schedules Direct. You might want to try using the MC2XML tool as some users report good results. It can be configured to pull EPG from Schedules Direct. The advantage to using this over using the Schedules Direct plugin is that you get to map the channels yourself using the XMLTV plugin. Also it is a command line tool so you can create a windows task and run it when you like. The issue with the Schedules Direct plugin is that it maps channels automatically and I can't see or control how it maps. The other big issue I have is that after I do my channel scan I get about 100+ scrambled channels. I have to manually test each channel make a note of the dudds, then delete the dudds. I don't have a cable box so I cannot decode the channels. It is irritating that it labels most channels as Unknown ######-##. My TV has a tuner and it has none of these issues.
