[QUOTE="ashtonaut, post: 24186, member: 15443"] Hey there fellow Kiwis, I've been playing round with MediaPortal for a few weeks now (brilliant, I can't believe how good it is!), but I really need to get a decent hardware card before I build a HTPC (thinking Hauppauge 150 or 500). Just thought I'd let you know of another source for NZ XMLTV EPG data. [url]http://mr.geek.nz/epg/[/url] This guy is pretty secretive about how he gets his data, but it is comprehensive (almost all Sky Digital channels covered), and I noticed it is FAST to download, as it is not a screen-scraping based method (you are simply downloading an xml file). Looks like it currently has some isues with missing data, but (like similar projects) he seems to be working on it pretty regularly. Because I'm not using MediaPortal at the moment, I havent had a chance to test how his xml file imports into MediaPortal (with things like time of day especially). If anyone is willing to give it a shot, please post back and let me know how compatible the xml listings are with MediaPortal. Cheers, Ash [/QUOTE]
