[QUOTE="Phylix, post: 207542, member: 57898"] Oh, wow... I just figured it all out. I was having problems with MP updating the EPG data automatically. Before, I would just open up that Oz program to refresh the database, but after getting tired of having to do this every week, the answer came to me. It was so obvious. The channels are mapped in Oz, but not in MediaPortal! After unsuccessfully fiddling with the internal XMLTV mapping settings inside MediaPortal, I tried renamining the channel names to match the names in the TVguide.xml file. I'm too lazy this time to actually write out each little step and post screenshots along with each step, but I'll try to be as clear as I can. Actually, it's not really too difficult. Open up the TVguide.xml file in Wordpad (Loads more quickly than Notepad, but Notepad will also work). Run MP Configuration and go to Television > TV Channels. All you have to do now is rename the channel names by clicking Edit to match the name in the TVguide.xml file. For example (This is at the top of the file so you don't have to go scrolling up and down searching for it): <channel id="C7.3kabcdt3.zap2it.com"> <display-name>7.3 KABCDT3</display-name> <display-name>7.3</display-name> <display-name>KABCDT3</display-name> </channel> In MediaPortal, the name of this channel was KABC-WN. I selected the channel KABC-WN, clicked Edit (Look at my other post. Step 5) and simply renamed it to 7.3 KABCDT3. I preferred KABCDT3 and tried renaming it to that, but after running the grabber in the next step, it didn't work, so I think it has to be the first display name. Now, we just follow thisisaric's instructions to set up a scheduled task and everything should be working fine. Enjoy. [/QUOTE]
