[QUOTE="circusdog, post: 1146466, member: 154016"] I have 2 Vista Ultimate 32-bit PCs and run WMC for my TV viewing and recording, at least up until 7/30/2015 when the guide died. It appears that the original version of WMC (not TV Pack) does not play with Rovi guide data. So, last night I installed MP1 and it configured my tuners, found my OTA channels, and I was able to watch live TV. However, I just can't seem to wrap my head around what I need to do to get guide data. I live between DC and Baltimore and I get about 70 different OTA channels (limited to 26 I actually would watch). Can some kind soul help me set up the right xml files so I can grab guide data from somewhere on a regular basis? I am familiar with the atscchannels.xml and atscprefs.xml that specify the channels to Vista WMC. I also have a W7 box with WMC and a single tuner that is getting Rovi guide data from zip code 20832 (it specifies "Washington (Hagerstown) Antenna", i think). Is there any way to get the required setup info from either of those places? I have a Windows 2003 server that runs IIS and is "on" all the time, if that would make guide data grabbing easier, but it doesn't have tuners to run TV Server. I'm in my 60's, and I have been a computer geek for over 40 years, and I am just having a tough time learning a new setup. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
