[QUOTE="BahamutZaero, post: 233824, member: 61662"] I was suggested to copy my post from [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/installation-configuration-support-53/severe-problems-channel-listings-35198/"]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/installation-configuration-support-53/severe-problems-channel-listings-35198/[/URL] to this thread, so... here we go! =) MediaPortal Version: 0.2.3.0 MediaPortal Skin: BlueTwo Wide Windows Version: Windows XP Pro 1.

I've been attempting to get the channel listings to work, and have had nothing but problems after problems. I have tried 2 methods, which appear to be the best 2 methods described on the forums and in the documentation.
