EPG Problems (1 Viewer)

[sacox46]

We have set up the program and all seems well EXCEPT - NO PROGRAM GUIDE. Went through the TV Server Configuration and are pretty sure we enabled the EPG but can't get any program information to display. Anybody have an idea of how to make this happen?

Thanks

Hi and welcome sacox46

You might want to check out the EPG Wiki for more info:

since sacox46 is in the US he should look at one of the following options

Schedules Direct plug-in
https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/television/schedulesdirect-guide-importer

Need to setup account to download data, about $25/year
http://www.schedulesdirect.org/

Some setup instructions, see Install and GeneralConfigWiki
http://code.google.com/p/mp-schedulesdirect/w/list

There are 2 freeloader options WebEPG/imdb or Xmltv/mc2xml, both give similar results.
see the following forum message for my setup instructions and updated imdb_com grabber file

Thanks for the suggestions. We decided to go to Windows 7 Media Center but had the same problem. So I tried entering a different more highly populated zip code. Voila! It worked. So I am thinking that MediaPortal might have needed that zip code as well. This might cure problems for other people too.
