[QUOTE="jameson_uk, post: 677892, member: 11220"] xmltv and OTA EPG are different things. xmltv is where you extract EPG info from somewhere into a file in a standard format and then MP can import that. I don't know how the HDHomeRun works so hopefully someone stateside can help you out there as to whether MP will pick up the guide info OTA. It might also be worth researching something called mc2xml if you already have Media Center installed. AIUI this will extract the guide from Media Centre into xmltv format. If you already have that then all you need to is put the xmltv file somewhere MP can access it. Enable the xmltv plugin in tvsetup and tell it where the file is (you need to also have the xmltv.dtd file in this folder). Then restart the tvservice. Now go into plugin config again and match up your channels setup in MP with the channels in the xmltv file. Now every time the file changes in the location you setup MP will import it Not entirely sure what this means :S but if you don't like the look of MP try some of the other skins. The basic skin is just that (basic) there are others with far more eye candy [/QUOTE]
