[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1215445, member: 109222"] Hi. The new version to test. Please do the following. Uninstall previous EPG-Buddy version and remove all remaining files/folders in "c:\Program Files (x86)\EPG-Buddy\" to get a clean start. Then install the 0.3.2.6 version attached here. Now start EPG-Buddy, select the matching TV database in "Setup TV Database"- tab, check tvguide.com in "EPG-Source > USA"- tab and enter your email and password. Then exit EPG-Buddy. Now you can start EPG-Buddy again and your tvguide.com lineup should be loaded correctly (hopefully). You now can start configuring your channels in "EPG-Data > TVGuide"- tab. [ATTACH=full]188207[/ATTACH] On the left you can set global options like the numbers of days to grab data (1 to 14 is possible), if you always want the plot of a show to be overwritten by the plot from TVDB.

You also can select if you never want data to be loaded from TVDB (season and episodes numbers, plot) at all.
