    You can. You will have to make a batch file first so it will rename the file output file as tvguide.xml
    To do this you will need to make a text file, save it and rename it .bat
    Here is an example .bat file:
    ---------
    c:
    cd "C:\Program Files\Media Portal Stuff\mc2xml"
    mc2xml -o tvguide.xml
    -------
    Obviously you will need to change the directory where your mc2xml is but that about it. the "-o" tells mc2xml.exe to output at the different file name. You can do this manually when you need to or set up widows task scheduler to do this everyday or 2 days or weekly etc. Hope this helps.

    Thanks... So annoying. I didn't notice it had stopped working and missed some recordings. The version number still seems to be 1.7.2. Hard to tell that the file has been updated. Sigh. I stream a lot of it now anyway. Good question on mc2xml.exe & schedulesdirect. I donated many, many moons ago for schedulesdirect support. I...

    I used to use the grabber but a few years back it disappeared on FreeSat DVBS. That is when I changed to EPG Collector. The extra benefit is that it collects from the Sky platform so it will give EPG for all the FreeSat channels plus the unencrypted movie channels on the Sky platform. It also allows me to pick the channels dedicated...

    How does the Timezone flag work? What input is it looking for? I went through the source code and all I saw was "America/New_York." I tried "America/Chicago" but still getting GMT times in the xmltv.xml file. Edit: Got this figured out. In the XmlTv plugin, you need to select "Apply timezone compensation when loading tvguide.xml" and...
