[QUOTE="Phylix, post: 289879, member: 57898"] Using MediaPortal JUST to view EPG data seems like a bit much... There are probably other programs that can view XMLTV files and display them nicely. A quick search came up with this: [url=http://xmltvview.birtles.org.uk/epgviewer.html]EPG Viewer for XMLTV Radio Times Data[/url] Or why not just bookmark Zap2It's TV guide? Sign up for a free account, put in your information, and it'll load pretty quickly. Might be easier than having MediaPortal simply for the purpose of finding out what's on. But if you still want to use it for just that purpose, can you tell me if you actually download the data? You can check by looking at tvguide.xml and opening it up with Notepad, Wordpad, or some other text editor. Look for descriptions of shows. As for TVserver and MySQL, I don't have either installed and everything works fine with my TV tuner. [/QUOTE]
