[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1126486, member: 82144"] No. To get the IMDB method to work: 1. Edit www_imdb_com and replace "ZIPCODE" with your actual zip code. 2. Fill the <channels>...</channels> section with the channels that you want to have guide data for. Hopefully the first point is straightforward. The second point seems to be where you're stuck... so let me try to help. If I've understood correctly, your question is: where do I get the channel ID and site ID values from? The wiki explains this (though perhaps not clearly enough?). The channel ID is the channel name as seen in the "TV Channels" section of TV Server configuration. The site ID is the channel name as seen in your lineup at [url="http://www.imdb.com"]www.imdb.com[/url]. I can't really say it much better than it says in the wiki: So, when you go to your TV listings on the website you see a standard EPG grid with the list of channels down the left hand side and the list of programs for each channel running from left to right. Here's what I got for zip code 90210, Time Warner cable: [url]http://www.imdb.com/tvgrid/2015-02-22/2000/?zip=90210&hit_go=1&tv_prov=CA00053&start_date=2015-02-22&start_time=2000#[/url] The first channel in the list is CBS. "KCBS" is the site ID. I can confirm this by hovering my mouse (or clicking) on the CBS logo or KCBS link, and I see the URL: [url]http://www.imdb.com/tvgrid/2015-02-22/KCBS/[/url] Second channel in the list is PBS. "KLCS" is the site ID. Third channel is NBC, which has site ID "KNBC". If I was editing the www_imdb_com lineup for that zip code it would look something like this: <channels> <channel id="CBS" siteid="KCBS"/> <channel id="PBS" siteid="KLCS"/> <channel id="NBC" siteid="KNBC"/> </channels> Does that make sense now?
