[QUOTE="markrb, post: 671881, member: 19996"] I have been reading for days and it seems the more I read the more confused I become. I have been using MP for years without TV and recently purchased a Hauppauge HVR-2250 card. I am able to watch it just fine and now I am looking to add channel data. From what I read I know I have to customize some files, but what and how I cannot find. I am also confused by all the grabbers and the difference between the EPG and Xmltv. Are they the same thing just called differently? What do I need to get a program guide? How do I get the data in MP automatically? I have read about mc2xml, but is that used with xmltv or instead of? From what I can gather it seems I will need a program to get the data and another to import it into MP. Is this correct? I have read the Wiki, but that has very limited info. The thing that is killing me is that in all of the forum posts I have read I can only find bits and pieces of the information because the questions are already pass my knowledge level. I am in the US with Comcast cable that has both digital and analog stations. I am really lost here and hope I can get pointed in the right direction. Thanks, Mark [/QUOTE]
