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.

Possibly a difference between CRT and LCD? I've got no idea, mine is the same either way.

I have followed the instructions on installing from this site zap2xml the only problem I am having is getting it to load in media portal when I use the guide it says no data even though I have downloaded to the C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\xmltv am I missing something on how to uipload the tvguide.xml

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
