[QUOTE="RonD, post: 843083, member: 117536"] As a fellow USAian I found the WebEPG setup frustrating since you need to find info from the wiki and the forum to setup the WebEPG plugin and modify/customize the grabber file. The info I used was the following. WebEPG Wiki Entry [url=http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/15_Customization/001_TV-Server/Sections/12_Plugins/WebEPG]WebEPG - MediaPortal Wiki[/url] Forums info, I found the following useful [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/installation-configuration-support-53/setup-webepg-ota-hd-usa-50377/[/url] From entry #32, I saved a copy of www_imdb_com_mod.xml in (Windows XP) C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\WebEPG\grabbers\US From entry #31, I followed the steps in this example and used notepad to edit the www_imdb_com_mod.xml grabber file. In my case I used my zipcode and CA55363 (Comcast cable) even though I'm using over the air. You need to have a channel entry for each station you want to grab, for example <Channel id="KTVU-HD" siteId="KTVUDT" /> Channel id="KTVU-HD" is channel ID MediaPortal found when it scanned channels siteId="KTVUDT" is the channel ID in the IMDB listing I did the www_imdb_com_mod.xml update in a couple of steps. First just add 2 channels and set GrabDays = 2 to debug the setup when you use the TV Server Configuration WebEPG plugin to "Grab Now". Follow steps in WebEPG Wiki for WebEPG plugin setup. If this is working correctly you should see WebEPG entries in the "tv.log" file for each station and show. When this is working add the rest of the channels and verify all channels are working. Then change GrabDays = 14 so you can get 2 weeks of data. You also need to setup the "Schedule" to run this late at night and/or use the "Power Scheduler" to run WebEPG once a day in the early morning hours.
