    Does anyone know which XML file sets the font for the TV shows on the TV guide? I have fiddled about with little luck. I have no doubt I'll find it eventually but any help would be appreciated.

    I think (from memory) that it is "mytvguide.xml" under the sections "template for program title light area" and "template for program title darkarea" .....

    I fiddled with those and changed the fonts to a font number set to Arial ( I also deleted the fonts folder) but it didn't change. i will try again tonight.

    Thanks Taipan

    Kind of needs a Linux shell to work. I found a program called FontCreator that has a 30 day demo and 'Identity' in that program was clean as a whistle. It's clean in photshop too. I wondr if it's MP related?

    The little artifacts you are seeing will be a result of packing the font into a single png file for rendering. The characters won't be spaced out enough, so when the rectangles are taken to render the font they will be picking up little bits of adjacent characters. That is my guess anyway.

    Your observation is correct mate. Last time this happened the fires of hell invaded all shopping centers... this time I seem to be the only one in need - which is quite uncomfortable at best. I guess I should look for an alternate solution until and if other MP users realize they have no guide listings. Thank you for chiming in...

I have also retired very early SD units, the Quatros seem to work much better than the older units. Go to SD's support website and download and install the windows...

    I meant use MP client to try to spot how it's requesting streams for specific channels and then try to do the same with VLC. TV Server development looks dead so I'm afraid you're going to have to figure that out by yourself if it's even possible.

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...
