Cannot get EPG listings (1 Viewer)

[tamvegas]

Is there a source for the tvguide.xml files without getting a scheduler subscription?

I have everything working and the new RC2 SVN is great. I had tried MCE on the HTPC I built recently, and tried Mediaportal RC2 with the Vista Ultimate 64 installation and found that MP allowed my Hauppauge 1800 to find all 17 ATSC channels in my area. MCE only found 7 and Fox wouldn't tune at all. Also, the picture quality is much better with MP.

But I can't get a program guide after a week of trying. WebEPG and the EPG plugins are active but there is no tvguide.xml file anywhere. And I can't find a plugin that will download one.

MP and TVServer are installed on my "D" drive but I also unhid the TeamMediaportal directory on the default C:\ProgramData location and no TVGuide.xml there either.

I really want to get MP functioning completely so I can begin scheduled recording.

Any help is appreciated and any files I can provide to help make it happen, please just let me know.

Did you run the configuration program "\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\WebEPG-conf.exe"?
You can also run "\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\WebEPG.exe" manually to download EPG.

Yes, but WebEPG didn't work either.
However I found the problem!
ScheduleDirectMP wouldn't work and just an hour ago I tried the TVE version. Works perfectly.
Got the EPG within 2 minutes.
$20 a year isn't too bad. Though I may try to get one of the free plugins working as well.

I had even tried GBPVR over my weekend and I could get the listings but the picture quality was far below MP. The codecs left a stuttering picture all the time and the signal strength tuning was much lower.
So I am happily with MP!

Now to get the XM plugin working (won't accept the login). And I wonder if anyone is working on a TVTonic plugin?

Please keep up the great work on MP!!
