[QUOTE="vbap, post: 11188, member: 11549"] I was searching google for ways to get an Australian EPG into myHTPC (now Meedio). The result was samul337's thread in these forums...... This was during my research of HTPC software late last year. Meedio, at the time, looked sufficient for me and appeared to work well. After a few weeks of productive HTPC use, some DVDs would not play properly. Then, one of my Wife's TV shows failed to record - that broke the camels back!

So, HTPC has been offline for a week while I re-installed entire system. Meedio was having problems with sound / playback, so I decided to research alternatives.
