What if.... I wanted to deploy a Media Portal application on a HTPC in a rural area that has yet to get broadband internet?

Presumably it would mean no EPG or movie art. Any other notable problems?

If you can use a DVB-T TV tuner where you are you can download the EPG along with the TV signal - at least you can in the UK. You do not say where you are.

    I guess the webEPG could work over dial up. Program the modem to dial at 5am or something and then tell the grabber to go to work at that time.
    But yeah, as hbryce says, you should also get the TV guide via the digital tv signals.

    As for the movie art, you can make your own by adding folder.jpg files to each directory.

    Hope this helps,
    Marcus,

    MP1 MP2 mc2xml seems to work but no EPG is imported in MP2 DE
    Update: Problem solved! The electronic program guides (tvguide.xml) have been successfully transferred to MediaPortal.

    The only configuration that is certain to work is when the MP client and MP server are from the same release.
