Sorry for being so naïve but how do I setup my guide with MP 2? I have subscription to Schedules direct but I don't see an obvious way to import guide data in the tv setup.

    Hi.
    There are many ways to get EPG data. Some hints how to do can be found in our Wiki.
    TV Guide Setup - EPG

    Most of the time the data is needed in the so called "xmltv" format. Then the xmltv plugin of the TV Engine can handle those data easily. For Schedules Direct there are some guides in the forum.

    But there is a free and easy to use alternative to Schedules Direct. For USA/Canada/Mexico you can use tvguide.com as data source. It's free of charge. You only need to register on their site and configure your lineup. Then you can use EPG-Buddy (link in my signature) to grab and import your EPG data from tvguide.com without a need to fiddle with config files.

    You need to check the wiki for TVMosaic, you have recordings as source available once TVM is installed. And of course images and music are part of the NET6 version as for NET4. If you have issues with it further infos would be good.
