[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1303620, member: 141969"] This may be why the MP TV Server did not find any EPG. However... I have never used TV in the USA, and I know only what I have read elsewhere. My understanding is that DVB in the USA does not contain a 7-day EPG, but it does contain a tiny amount of EPG data which varies from one location in the USA to another. So it might be a 1-day EPG, or a 6-hour EPG, or only "now and next" (i.e. what is on now and what is on next). If [USER=172675]@dlbeaty[/USER] is satisfied with a 1-day EPG, he might as well continue to use WinTV, and not bother with MP. However, if he wants a 7-day or 14-day EPG, he will need to use an internet EPG. If WinTV provided a 7-day or 14-day EPG, it must have been downloading it from the internet. [USER=172675]@dlbeaty[/USER] will need to locate an internet EPG that can be downloaded, and then either discover how to use that with WinTV, or persevere with MP and use the XmlTv plugin. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
