[QUOTE="ChairmanMao, post: 1059562, member: 145847"] Yes, I can browse the lineup on the SD site. I appreciate the help, but I've pursued the SD-specific issue in another thread. The MP logs showed a NullReferenceException being thrown from within SD. I was eventually able to get some guide data into MP by playing around with a bunch of stuff. But it was incomplete, and wrong in several cases. I was then warned that getting the SD plugin to work can take a lot of time and effort...which I don't want to spend. Nor do I want to spend time figuring out what's wrong with the XmlTV Gui app. I just want to be able to use the TV recording capability in MP. But to do that, I have to have a working program guide subsystem. That's why I'm making the suggestion the MP developers include such a subsystem in the "base product". A TVServer without a program guide is pretty much useless, and a program guide without a TVServer is pointless. You need to have both to have a useful TV recording capability. So if you want a product that offers TV recording capability, both elements should be part of the base product, IMHO. [/QUOTE]
