    I guess i should write a xmltv guide one day! ill add it to my to-do list!

    You need to use the xmltv program to download and update the files. and schedule it to run ever day or two to get new listings.

    Hmmm looked into this, to get xmltv to run do i need to install perl and then configure xmltv for the uk ?

    no need to install per - there should be an executable.

    the very rough guide is:
    1. get the latest xmltv executable from: SourceForge.net: XMLTV: Files
    2. run xmltv in the console (dos prompt) and it will tell you to run something like "xmltv --configure uk_radiotimes_tv"
    3. once you do that it will prompt you for which channels you want to download.
    4. once done, anytime you run "xmltv uk_tv_radiotimes" (or something like that), it downloads the listings. You probably need to pipe it into a file by putting "> C:\tvguide.xml" at the end.

    if thats all working it can then be imported into mediaportal, and you can then map the channels.

    i'll see if i can find time to make a nice how-to.

    although what i tend to do is load in the xmltv guide, and then have the over the air EPG overwrite it. so best of both - radiotimes xmltv for 14 days of listings, and over the air that handles last minute changes nicely.

    Thats what happens when you use windows, forget to open a dos box and just run the .exe :oops:

    I'll run what you have suggested :D

    If I understand correctly, your device is combination of DVB-C tuner, router and some web access to play the channels in PC web browser. You can sniff http comunication with the help of Wireshark or Fiddler to determine channel url which can be used to create IPTV channel in TV server. If the url is not static(changes dynamically)...

    Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution. On the client, within media portal configuration, under TV settings, advanced options, I switched to UNC paths instead of the default RSS, and it's working very well. Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal. Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...
