[QUOTE="CaptainPecan, post: 671900, member: 107865"] Well, I'm not very good at this myself, but since I noticed you haven't gotten a reply yet, I'll take a stab at pointing you in the right direction. You've got to many questions I can't answer, but I do know how I managed to get my tv guide information to download and work. I'm not sure how far you have gotten with it, but here's what I did. If you haven't done so yet, go download mc2xml from the following link. [url=http://mc2xml.yourfreehosting.net/]mc2xml[/url] There is information on how to install it on a MediaPortal system if you look about halfway down the page. Just follow those instructions exactly. I had a rough time getting mine to work the first time, and I'm not exactly sure what I was doing wrong when I finally got it working correctly, so just follow really close by the instructions. After you have it installed, you are going to need to run the program at least every week or so to update your listings. You can use a simple batch file to run the program for you so you do not have to keep typing in the command line. You can make your own batch file easily using notepad, just copy and paste the following onto notepad: @echo off REM Update the program guide Start /W /D "C:\mc2xml\" mc2xml -o tvguide.xml Save the file as TVGuideUpdate.bat or similar but make sure the extention is .bat. Click the saved file and it run the program, update your TV Guide information, and close itself back out. Somewhere along the line of me beating my head against the wall trying to get this thing to work the first time, I had to manually force mediaportal tv server configuration to import the data. You may or may not need to do this, I just know I had to at some point. I'll attach a screen shot of mine, and just click that "import" button after you have made sure the path to your mc2xml is set correctly above. Give all that a go, and cross your fingers... If that doesn't help you, I'm out of options because I'm still learning this whole thing myself, lol... Good luck. [/QUOTE]
