[QUOTE="2.0, post: 1233708, member: 118263"] You don't even have to do that. Pulling the schedule data from Zap2it can be done without an account if you use the -Z and -Y parameters for your zip code and provider number. To do this, go to tvlistings.zap2it.com, enter your zip code then choose your TV provider from the list (Antenna broadcast TV is also an option). You will see your complete channel lineup. Check the URL for what is shown after "lineupId="; this is the value you need to pass to zap2xml with the -Y parameter. Just keep in mind that doing it this way will cause zap2xml to pull schedule data for [I]every[/I] channel in the lineup, not just the ones you want. I've been using zap2xml for two weeks now and I am very pleased with it. It works perfectly and was quite easy to set up. I created a batch file to run zap2xml with the correct parameters, used Windows Task Scheduler to run it on a schedule and set Powerscheduler to turn on the computer at the correct time. Two weeks of EPG data grabs in only six minutes, then 2~3 minutes for XmlTV to import the data. I also use the MyMenu plugin to run this batch file and grab the data at any time without having to exit MediaPortal, something I was never able to do with WebEPG. [/QUOTE]
