WebEPG downloads stations, but no programs. (1 Viewer)

[sparafucile17]

Hello,

I hav just downloaded and installed MediaPortal v1.1.3 I have successfully setup my tuner card and can now watch live TV. The problem is that I cannot get WebEPG working. I live in the U.S. and I am getting my TV as ATSC (over-air). I have 12 channels in my area and for now I am just trying to getteh TV guide to wok on only one channel: WDIV-HD (a.k.a NBC)

I have followed the wiki step-for-step but when I lck the"Grab Now!" I get the station downloaded but NO programs come along with it. I dumped the data to tvgide.xml and here is the output that I got:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE tv SYSTEM "xmltv.dtd">
<tv generator-info-name="WebEPG">
  <channel id="WDIV-HD-Eastern@nbc.com">
    <display-name>WDIV-HD</display-name>
  </channel>
</tv>

Any ideas or tips? The server that I choose was tv.yahoo.com if that has anything to do with the problem. My other option was The Internet Movie Database (IMDb), but I tried a dummy channel from there and got absolutely nothing from that grab.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

- Jeff

Read above post, especially the bit about importing MCE tv listings using mc2xml, otherwise schedules direct is recommended for the USA

Thanks Ray, what about XMLTV? I haven't tried that yet, but if you know there are issues with it in the USA, I will avoid it and go to Schedules Direct. The only thing I don't like about Schedules direct is the fact that it is not free So I am trying to exhaust all free options first.
