[QUOTE="circusdog, post: 1146722, member: 154016"] Thanks for looking at the file. I tried so many different things that maybe I got confused or out of step. Today I set up mc2xml (instead of zap2xml) for schedules direct, ran it, imported it, figured out the right channel to map, and now I have guide data. I chose the channels by their ID rather than trying to use the names. Now if I could figure out how to make the channel numbers look better. For example, 2-1 is displayed as 20001. Just looks goofy to me. Oh, well. I set up a series recording for Extant which starts tonight at 9 PM. That will be the next nail in WMC's coffin. I moved the tvguide.xml to a shared drive on my W2k3 server, pointed the TV-Server at it, and set up a scheduled task to run daily at 4:00 AM. If that works and the TV-Server picks up the changes, that will put another nail in the coffin. Do you have any preference of zap2xml or mc2xml, or a reason to use one over the other? Thanks again!
