[QUOTE="JimCatMP, post: 974877, member: 103549"] Your 1st hurdle is the EPG - your UK based, so if you use Freeview (as I do) then you have problem! Example - "The Mimic" [Ch 4 other day] - from the XML, I could process out a TITLE, COMMENT & CHANNEL - no GENRE, no EPISODENAME, SERIESNUM or EPISODENUM data - nothing to tell me this is TV Show vs Film etc etc. Wizard of Oz - slightly more data, now have GENRE of "movie/drama" - but that may be just Film4 convention (testing this real time, and there are no movies playing on other channels:-< I have tried, but never had much luck with the Web EPG's, but for my need, the Freeview works, so never put much effort into either, so I think that is your 1st port of call - get the XML populated - then I'd write a script (but that's me:-) Hopefully, with a standard & well populated XML, someone else will have a solution to your problem.
