[QUOTE="moab, post: 653822, member: 73157"] I use MC2XML. The problem with WebEPG is that they rely on a screen scraping to generate the guide. The issue with this is that when there is a significant change to the HTML source then the scraper code must be modified. Also here in the USA there are numerous different localized TV guides that must be scraped from different websites using different scraper code. Compare this with the UK which has very little regional variation so only 1 screen scraper is required for the entire nation. That said if someone coded some good scrapers for USA it would be wonderful. [/QUOTE]
