Hello Hesse:

Thank you for going to the extra effort of creating a version just for myself.  I did get into the plugin this time, but I still get an error:

************** Exception Text **************

System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.

   at System.Number.StringToNumber(String str, NumberStyles options, NumberBuffer& number, NumberFormatInfo info, Boolean parseDecimal)

   at System.Number.ParseInt32(String s, NumberStyles style, NumberFormatInfo info)

I do see the channel name, channel number which is 250000/520 (for channel 520 etc) standard is 'default' and type is 'External' because I am using a satelite receiver.  Everything looks pretty normal there and the EPG looks as it should.

I'm using Zap2It because I was having trouble getting the EPG to update using the MP configuration.  It was so much easier and it automatically updates the EPG automatically. 

I guess the bottom line is, Zap2It stores the EPG info in a different manner from what your plugin is looking for.  Darn!!!  I was looking forward to having my channels in numberical order.  Maybe the person who made Zap2It can create a program like yours.

Thank you again for your attempt. 

Have a GREAT day ... Dale
