I don't know why my PC TV is much harder to see than my regular TV. My regular TV is much brighter. Do you know why that might be.

    Start MediaPortal's "TVserver configuration"
    Go to plugin "XmlTv" (make sure XmlTv plugin box is checked) and select the folder with the newly generated tvguide.xml (example: c:\mc2xml)
    Go to Tab "Mappings"
    Select your "Group"
    Press "Load/Refresh"
    The list box will now show your "channels" with drop down boxes to select the descriptions from the tvguide.xml file
    After selecting descriptions, press "Save"
    Verify the selections by pressing "Load/Refresh" again (all boxes should now be white)
    Go back to the "Settings" tab and press "Import" (you should see your channels/programs after importing (takes a few seconds))
    Close "TVserver configuration"


    You can use zap2xml but you might want to look at mc2xml
    mc2xml
