    i click F9 , import tv guide

    and it says that it cant find the xmltv file.

    how can i solve this?

    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.

    Hey CyberSimian you nailed it! Looks like the secret is:- After EPG Collector has Run and provided the TVGuide.xml Open MediaPortal - TV Server Configuration "Force Import" on the Plugins/Xmltv/General dialogue, (ignore the status) Go to the Mappings dialogue and Load/Refresh and Save a Group - (It does not appear to matter which...

    Brief update... Hauppauge support responded quickly, stating that the "driver for all of our product confirm to the BDA format". Not sure what that means, but to test that, I downloaded a copy of Capture4Me, and indeed, it switches LNBs without any issues with minimal configuration (just set DiSEqC to 1.x A/B/C/D and select the...
