Well sanity checks performed and here's the unfortunate results:

First I created mc2xml.chl and put the number 24 in there (thats USA Network so i figured it was a popular network to use)

I then deleted my mc2xml.dat file and started over with the command

mc2xml -c us -g 25801 -o tvguide.xml 

This brought up the gui and i hit ok and it downloaded the tvguide for 1 channel

So i downloaded 1 channel with 338  programs.

Next i went into the xmltv plugin and hit load/refresh.  As expected all 75 channels popped up red except for 24 which was USA network which had automapped.  I hit Save on theimport on the mappings tab and then import on the settings tab.

1 channel imported

0 programs

I even went so far as to delete all channels except FOR 24 (USA) so that i could then map one channel in the tvguide.xml to 1 channel in the actual list results

1 channel imported

0 programs

When mapping the chanel 24, i noticed that there were 5 options for the channel a

1) 24....

2) Satellite....

3) USA .....

4) 24 Dish Net ......

and i of course tried all 5 saving each time and hitting import with no joy.

Is there ANY other setting somewhere that could affect this such as any EPG settings in general settings or anywhere else?  It seems like this should bypass all that EPG stuff but I'm grasping at straws here.

I throw my hands up in defeat.  I just can't figure this out

I stumbled across this thread which seemed promising but no luck epgStream.net Support Forum • View topic - mediaportal importing channels but not programs

could there be a problem with the xmltv.dtd file i have could someone post working xmltv version for me?

I've tried .45 .50 .56 including the xmltv.exe and xmltv.dtd

Any gurus out there ??
