[QUOTE="m0deth, post: 162657, member: 28342"] Stop trying Game_dude....it will never work for US. I tried for months when first getting into MP, with help from the forums....and the truth of the matter is, if you have cable in the US....zap2it was the only thing that worked right, and fed data to the epg. Even then, this year thanks to our lovely senators and president....everything was off by an hour due to daylight savings being early, zap2it never really recovered from that properly(labs didn't, website did. go figure).

So scheduling even manually, for use with IR blaster....will become a nightmare. BTW, zap2it lied apparently....no guide data is being retrieved with either of my accounts now, I can login to their site, but no data is downloaded.
