[QUOTE="JoshM7711, post: 359666, member: 87194"] I have a just built a nice HTPC from scratch - my first HTPC. After reading all the pros and cons I went with Vista 32 Ultimate. However after finding Media Center rather bland I started searching and found Media Portal to a work of art compared to MCE. I have everything running great ... all but the tv-server/program guide I just cannot get this to work. I have a WinTV-HVR-1600 MC. I created an account on Zap2it and downloaded the zap2xml which spits out all the channel data from the account I created. I had MP TV Server Config detect all the analog channels I get through the basic Comcast connection. I have a Digital antenna picking up about 10 free air DTV/HD Channels. I setup the xmltv plugin to grab the data. However I cannot get any of it to show up in the program guide... it always says no information available. This is a stand alone MediaPortal HTPC, I am not streaming to the rest of the house or anything. I just cannot get the tv programming part to work. And Media Center was a snap to setup... it just worked ... I dont mind a little setup but so far I cannot find a real guide as to how to get the EPG to work in mediaportal 1.... please help if you can...:S [/QUOTE]
