[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1285809, member: 141969"] I live in the UK, where our terrestrial TV broadcasts (using the DVB-T and DVB-T2 standards) include a 7-day EPG for all channels. But my understanding is that in the USA, terrestrial TV does not include this data, apart from perhaps the "on now" and "on next" programme info. If Win-TV is displaying a full EPG, I would suspect that it is downloading it from somewhere on the internet. I believe that there are some free internet EPGs available to US viewers, of varying quality. But the usual recommendation is to pay for a subscription to "Schedules Direct", which is around $25 per year. Schedules Direct provide a high-quality EPG. All internet EPGs have to be provided in a form that MP can understand, which essentially means in the form of an XML file. You then setup the XML importer in "TV Server Config" to import the file. The DVB EPG grabbers in "TV Server Config" should be disabled, as they are of no use to you. I have never used an internet EPG with MP, so I am vague on the details. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
