[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1288664, member: 141969"] First: I don't use MP2; I use MP1. Second: I have never used an internet EPG with MP. However, hopefully the following is (mostly) correct: TV Server is used by both MP1 and MP2, but it is described in the MP1 section of the Wiki, so read that for general info on setting up TV Server. Start [URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/TV-Server+Configuration']here[/URL]. There is a TV-Server plugin for Schedules Direct, which you can download from [URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/television/schedulesdirect-guide-importer']here[/URL]. I believe that there is one "gotcha" when using this plugin: it works only with the XML form of the Schedules Direct data. It does not work with the newer JSON form of the data. So you need to select the XML form of the data in your setup on the Schedules Direct web site. In principle you could download the JSON form of the data, and then use some sort of conversion utility to convert that into the equivalent XML form, but I don't know what is available to do that. MP2 is in the process of supporting the TV Mosaic server, which is now open source freeware, but it is still a "work in progress", and so perhaps not yet ready for the novice. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
