[QUOTE="wjw, post: 1288780, member: 79284"] A lot of questions - but first I have one for you. Did you read and follow the guidance in the section of the documentation that I referred you to? If so you should have answers to some of your questions. One that probably isn't is the question of what actually causes the download from SchedulesDirect in the first place. I found the easiest way is simply to use Windows Task Scheduler to run a small .bat file daily (or at any interval you want to choose with the Scheduler options). This is the contents of mine: cd C:\Users\john\Desktop\XMLTVstuff C:\Users\john\Desktop\XMLTVstuff\mc2xml C:\Users\john\Desktop\XMLTVstuff\XMLTV\xmltv-0.5.68-win32\SED "/"dd_progid"/d" C:\Users\john\Desktop\XMLTVstuff\xmltv.xml > C:\Users\john\Desktop\XMLTVstuff\tvguide.xml Obviously you would need to change all locations to your own names. You can also - for the moment - ignore the 3rd line as this is only required to fix a small issue in the way Series Nos. and episodes gets handled. You may need to search the forum for posts on this subject from quite few years ago. You do not actually need to use PowerScheduler at all (I don't). I have also attached an extract from an TVGuide XML file - the original is huge! [/QUOTE]
