[QUOTE="Mashenden, post: 566435, member: 17871"] This is the Set Up Guide I have been working on (and superceeds my post dated Dec 25 2009 @ 19:05) - Please comment if something does not work - I may have missed a few tidbits: [b]WebEPG – A TV Guide where info is automatically downloaded from the web and is also customizable using logos etc.[/b] [u]Objective[/u] - To install WebEPG when using MP 1.0.2.0 and FTR 1.4.0.1 with the main focus being on a United States - HD Over The Air (OTA) set-up. Note: It is reported that 1.1.0 beta and above has WebEPG integrated as a plug-in with a scheduler as well. The following Webpage may be a better source for help if you are using MP 1.1.0 beta+: [url=http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/MediaPortalSetup_WebEPG]MediaPortalSetup_WebEPG - MediaPortal Manual Documentation[/url] [u][b]1.

This will replace the old WebEPG.exe and WebEPG.dll files with new ones (make copies of the old ones if this concerns you).
