[QUOTE="egandt, post: 146917, member: 50043"] Think I fixed it, though in a very messy way: 1. Since I have 2 tuners, that means I need parts from the OTA and Part for the Cable guides at Zap2It, so far I can only get 1 of the 2 guides at a time in xmltv. XMLTV cannot do this so instead get 2 seperate listings and combine using tv_cat 2. The names from XMLTV are not what I want to use, so I need to remap them. XMLTV can not do this, so I wrote a nice perl script to do this for me 3. There are multiple copies of NBC, CBS ..., so I need them all to show the listing, ie map 1 guide channel to multiple tuner channels Still working on this as I will need yet another set of listings to get this data So what does my script do, well basically this is a hash at the top that conatins a list of all XML channels and what they should be mapped to for Media Portal Second I have sets of listings so I get the identifiers from the TvGuide.xml and use them to locate were to make replacements. Third I check that all channels have a mapping, if not I warn. Fourth since I have more than 1 channel whose ID remained the same between listings I rename it in 1 of the 2 listings bwfore merging. Forth I make the required replacements in the merged file. Fith I copy over the TvGuide.xml file manually. So it does work, but as I said it is not easy, though hopefully this file will help somebody else figure out how to do it, got question post here, ERIC [/QUOTE]
