Oh yeah? You say I might be confused? Well I challenge you to a duel ! Tell your people to call my people to work out the intercontinental details.
(I HOPE everyone recognizes that this is a JOKE!!)

Or maybe you're right again. Here is my entire procedure:
There is one directory used for all zap2xml operations, MP EPG 2 [MP EPG was used for Schedules Direct via mc2xml]
There is one tvguide.xml file in MP EPG 2
The tvguide.xml file is generated by one zap2xml command, either with or without the -z argument, otherwise identical
The zap2xml command is run from one scheduled task every morning at 5:04am.
The scheduled task is set to start in MP EPG 2
MP xmltv plugin points to MP EPG 2 for it's tvguide.xml file
Every time I add or remove the -z argument, I do the following:
0) run the scheduled task manually the first time, checking completion status
0.1) verity a new tvguide.xml was generated
1) go to xmltv and force import to get the channels
2) load mappings, and add/correct as needed
3) save mappings
4) force import again to get programs for the channels
5) go see what happened.

I have posted a tv.log which shows xmltv grinding away on a tvguide.xml which was generated from tvguide,com (as shown in the log)
I have posted a tvguidesav.xml which was generated from tvguide.com data (as shown in the file) [I 'corrected' 3 or 4 empty channel name fields -- search for the TOON channel and see 4th field where I inserted Too for example -- this kind of thing allowed xmltv to process the file]
There is no zap2xml log (other than the tvguide.xml file) that I can find.

It is perfectly OK if you don't want to look at this -- but if you do.
What else can I provide?
Where did I go wrong?
