mm1352000,
I think the underlying issue here is that MP is targeted at non-US/non-Canada users. That's fine -- every product has a target market, and it's hardly unusual for an open source project to have to conserve its resources by choosing what opportunities to address. Particularly if expanding the scope means supporting an entirely different TV system .
My problem is that I live in the US. And if I suggest to my wife that we need to move to Europe so we can easily and reliably record TV shows I suspect I'll run into some challenges .
I did, BTW, get the guide data loaded into the program using mc2xml. A little convoluted -- rename an XML file so MP can access it? -- but reasonably straightforward.
