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.

The electronic program guides (tvguide.xml) have been successfully transferred to MediaPortal.

"Looks like your last successful download was on 5/23.
On 5/24 for some reason we received 194 connections between 10:54 and 11:05
triggering a denial of service attack ban. The logs show it was lifted on 5/25,
but I still see the entry in iptables. I reset fail2ban and hopefully you're
working again."
