[QUOTE="snarlyboy, post: 65817, member: 22574"] hi, thanks for that. I've figured out how to use reven's xmltvnz and have a batch file .cmd dos prompt text file which has the right parameters to download the correct NZ SkyTV digital satellite EPG guide into an XML file. I was able to then successfully import the file into MP once using the MP Config, but have not yet set it up to be auto scheduled and regularly imported into MP by itself. Would it help if I upload or post the txt to the command line params I am using which seems to work? I'm happy to contribute what I know but obviously still keen to hear from others who can help me get my Hauppauage MCE Remote (all the buttons - like MyTV MyPictures etc) working along with its IR blaster to control the Sky Digital set top box. At one point I even downloaded that MP serial motorola controller plugin, but it did not work - or my set top box's serial port is not enabled. Sky NZ are too stupid/protective of their equipment to turn it on for us though. They'd rather I spend $600 +$99/month on top of the channels on their MySky tivo copy with a small hard drive and we dont even own the box or are able to copy the files off the machine. Hence the BYO PVR. let me know if I should upload that cmd file with the xmltv settings... [/QUOTE]
