Glad it seems to be working ok.
I posted in the developer forum and put a patch on SF about
the ATSC channel edits, so maybe one of the MP devs will look at it.

I have been having problems with this plugin. I had version 1.5 installed and it worked perfectly until a couple weeks ago. I would get pop up saying the EPG had been loaded successfully, but the guide was empty.
I then downloaded Zap2itPlugin.v1.6-StableTree-Pre10456-SVN-BIN.zip and installed that. It doesn't work either. It just keeps giving the successfully loaded EPG popup, but the guide doesnt update.

Can you post your epg log after an update
(you can force an epg update on next loading in the plugin configuration)
to http://pastebin.team-mediaportal.com
So are you say your guide is COMPLETELY empty and you are getting the
successfully loaded EPG popup or just some channels no longer have data?
If you updated your MP install or exported and imported your channel list
you may have to re auto-tune your channels.

patrick - Isn't there a method to force the EPG even though you don't have a TV tuner card in this computer? I used to be able to do it but can't with the Zap2itPlugin.v1.6-StableTree-Pre10456-SVN-BIN.zip
Looks like my first reply got pushed to the previous page.
The plugin will only match analog lineups if there is already
epgMapping present in the database for a channel OR it will try
to "find" a match IF a frequency is present for the channels (from the Autotune).
So you have a few options.
If your lineup IS digital you can remove all your channels from MP,
set the plugin to auto-add digital channels and it will auto-add
them all even without a TV Card (or autotune) and set them as external.
If your lineup is NOT digital your best bet is to
Export/backup the channel list from your existing "good"
install and import them to your install with no TV card.
This should contain channel and frequency information
allowing the zap2it plugin to attempt to "find" matches.
If one of these does not match what you need let me know.
HTH,
patrick
Well my lineup is not digital and I did backup from the good install and performed a restore on this computer. No problems yet.
Brought up MP and then got the dialog/poup "Unable to process any channels, have you done an autotune in setup?"

I posted the log here: http://pastebin.team-mediaportal.com/10858
EDIT -- I re-autoscaned the channels and that seemed to work. Thanks!
Strange, I wonder if the channel frequencies got lost somewhere.
If your channels are listed in the configuration.exe you can try
this work around:
--- DO NOT DO THIS ON THE PC WITH A TV CARD ---
Using the SQLite Database Browser in the docs folder
open your TVDatabase, goto the execute sql tab
Use the SQL:
update channel set frequency=1111000 where frequency=0
Select the execute sql button. Error message should say "No error"
Save the database, close the database and the SQLite Database browser
and re-start MP.
Let me know if this works or not.
Please post your epg log if it still does not work.
HTH,
patrick
Performed work-around, everything seemed to work with the SQLBrowser tool.
Started up MP, no change. below is the epg.log:
