[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 752771, member: 82144"] That is the problem. You can't import a guide if you don't have channels. As above: you don't need a tuner, but you do need the channels. You get channels either by scanning or adding them manually. Obviously scanning is not possible yet since you don't have a tuner connected, but manually creating a few channels should be pretty straightforward. 1. Go to the "TV Channels" section. 2. Click "add". 3. Select any type and click ok. 4. Enter a name at the top, click ok.
