I have an analog TV tuner card (NVTV-based to be exact) and I cannot figure out how to get WebEPG to grab the local (antenna) channel listings. From what I read you have to input the channels manually into webepg-conf.exe. I tried this, but when I enter the channels (I entered the channel numbers), click Save, and run webepg.exe nothing happens. The tvguide.xml file and such have no EPG data listed in them. I am absolutely lost on how to get this to work. I have tried scouring the forums but it seems most everyone is using digital tv tuners or don't seem to have the problem I am having.

Edit: I think I may have got the channels all sorted out. What was misleading was the textboxes on the right hand side, they were greyed out so I didn't think to try and click on the buttons next to them. Even though my channels are now apparently set up correctly, no data about the current TV programs are downloaded when I run webepg.

    It looks like yahoo have changed the location of their TV guide data, and that needs to be updated in WebEPG.
    It rings a bell with me that this issue has been discused here before - do a search in these forums and you might find what the new URLs for yahoo should be ....

    I searched around on the forum and couldn't find any mention of new URLs for yahoo. Am I just looking in the wrong places?
