Message: <blockquote data-quote="DaleVandy" data-source="post: 277924" data-attributes="member: 76717">Okay. As I mentioned, I uninstalled and then re-installed the programs (RC1 svn 06-07-2008--02-05-Rev 19311). When I was installing them (I don't remember if it was the Media Portal or TV Server, I uninstalled then re-installed them both) the install program kept quitting with errors. It looked as though some of the files it needed were not available. Anyway, I kept running the install over and over. Each time it went a little further, until one time it went all the way through and succeeded. Then the program crashed about every 15-30 seconds or so, until I finally rebooted. That seemed to help-at least so far.Then, when I was looking over the TV server Config in the plugins section under the xmltv options I saw the Mappings tab. I don't recall ever seeing that before, so I looked at it. I clicked the Load/Refresh button and it showed all of my channels. It showed that green for each channel--a perfect match! "Aha!!" I thought, and restarted Media Portal. But it still didn't work.I kept thinking that the mappings tab was the key, but every time I refreshed, it showed 100% match. But, my natural curiosity wondered what would happen if I changed one of the stations to another one. How close would the natch be. So I expanded the Guide Channel tab to experiment. I saw 2 sets of channel numbers! One set, the one that was currently in use, just showed the numbers as: "3.1 KSNWDT". The other set showed up as: "3.1 KSNWDT (c3.1ksnwdt.zap2it.com)"!!As soon as I saw those, I figured that they were what I was needing, so I changed all of my channels to the ones like the example above. It worked!!! So I have guide data finally, but I have a couple of questions:1) How do I get the station logos into the listings? I have the zap2it files download them into a separate folder, but what do I need to do to get the logos into the listings? This isn't real important to me--if I can't get it, it will be okay. But it would be fun if I can.2) How do I change the setup so that I can use the digits on the remote to enter the channel number (the "Friendly" Channel number, for lack of a better word), so that I can enter, for instance, 3.1 to go to the channel instead of the frequency, which is 45, or whatever.3) You mentioned that the xmltv file is old.  How can I get the new version?  The forums are not very clear to a newbie like me when I am trying to find something.Thanks for your kind help. It is much appreciated.  I currently have Beyond TV and do not like it at all. So, if I can get this program working, I will donate some money.</blockquote>
