Yes you just need to find someone who can provide the data for your tv channels. If you can get it in xmltv format (or convert it) then it will work in MP. Try googling for chile and poland.

This website mentions Poland:

Sorry, I havent found anything for Chile yet. The above link works by "scraping" the information from a local TV guide. If you could find a suitable website then you could modify their code. Or just ask them to add support, they are keen to support new countries if someone can find them good websites to base it on. You could be a pioneer for your country :D

Forward urls for Chile TV guides

Bach,

If you forward me the URLs for the Chile TV guides, then I will see whether I can add to TVxb. I had a quick look at TV Chile (one channel) and the guide for this should be compatible with Tvxb. However I don't know where to look for other channels.

Places to look for on-line guides include:
- Direct off the TV station web-site
- Cable providers
- Newspaper web-sites

Elem,

Poland listings are supported by TVxb. Presently around 170 channels of schedule information are available.

Unfortunately I can't get TVxb to work with these listings.

TVxb can read the programs off each web-page and output in xmltv format. However it can only ever capture whatever is showing now or in the next 4 hours.

The main problem is finding the right URLs to grab each day's listing.

For example
http://www.mi-mundo.cl/buscador/buscar.asp?canal=AXN will read in the schedule for AXN channel.

http://www.mi-mundo.cl/buscador/bus...hora_t=5:00,5:00&canal=AXN&genero=&tipocanal= will step one hour forward

http://www.mi-mundo.cl/buscador/bus...hora_t=6:00,6:00&canal=AXN&genero=&tipocanal= one more hour and so on.

All this works through a browser, but the wget utility is unable to download the last two pages. It can only ever fetch the schedule for what is showing right now. It's rare that wget has any problems with web-sites. Unfortunately it does for the mi-mundo site.

Are there any other URLs that you can find to look at these schedules? If you find any other methods, please let me know. (For example it is possible to substitute "gip.asp" for "buscar.asp" and get a differently formatted page - although wget is still unable to download future schedules.)

regards,
Bill.

Thanks for that. I found "Chnlineup" in the Sky grab and "FreesatEPG" in the Freesat grab and enabled them both in EPG Collector, and also set them as the EPG grabber for radio in MP2. But here's the odd thing: The next time I opened the XMLTV EPG mapper (where you map actual channels to channels available in the EPG), the radio...
