How do i get HD 16:9 and TVGUIDE working (1 Viewer)

[SundanceTV]

Is MP designed for US TV? Where did the 14:9 aspect come from, every thing here is 4:3 or 16:9? How do I get 16:9 with MP? Also I have just installed it and I don't understand the EPG at all. What is meant by "grabbing" the guide, where do you do this and I get a message saying "TVGUIDE import failed. Unable to open tvguide.xml".

Where do I go to get what I need as well as direction on the guide for US TV?

Hi there SundanceTV.

I found this page useful in getting me up and running.

Honestly, I'm not sure if the US is in that list, but I presume it is.
Hope that helps

Thanks Gadgetman, that was very helpful.

I don't see many (any) here from the US. If someone knows why I only see the Eastern and Central time zones (no Pacifiic where I am) represented by web sites to D/L the guideplease clue me in? Am I doing something wrong to cause only two times zones to show. Is there something in a setup somewhere I missed making it think I am on the east coast of the US?

Thanks

NEVER MIND, just found it!


Where do I find the Zap2it Certificate Codes for MP? I have searched here and found nothing and they do not list MP on their site?

OK, I got the guide information to up date (from the config. window) but the guide information it appears is not in the correct place. when I right click in the guide window within MP and select up date the TV guide it says it can't find the XMLTV file. Where should the file be? also will I manually have to do this each time?
