    Hi, it may seem a strange question but, is it possible to see the epg without having a tuner?

    I did the following on a PC without MP and without a tuner:
    Install MP
    Open MP Configuration
    Go to Television
    Go to Program Guide
    Specify correct "Path to tvguide.xml"
    Click OK to close Configuration
    Start MP
    Go to My TV
    Go to TV Guide
    No data available
    Go back to previous screen
    Wait a minute
    Go to TV Guide
    See that MP has started to import the data.

    In this whole process, ignore (OK) any message "No tuner cards installed".

    What is also important is that the "Path to tvguide.xml" MUST contain the file tvguide.xml as well as the file xmltv.dtd.
