[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1302675, member: 141969"] It was worth trying an install of MP 1.33 on Windows 7, but it turns out that MP 1.37 on Windows 10 was not the cause of the problem. I installed EPG Collector on my test laptop, and eventually persuaded it to download the EPG for DVB-T. But trying to import "TvGuide.xml" in "TV Server Config" produced the same result as you -- the channel info was imported, but the programme info was not. This was because I had not set up XmlTv correctly. The "read_me" file in the "xmltv" folder in the "TV Server" folder tree says to download the 32-bit version of XmlTv, but that information is out of date. The SourceForge web site shows two versions of XmlTv -- one for 32-bit, and another for 64-bit: [INDENT][URL unfurl="true"]https://sourceforge.net/projects/xmltv/[/URL][/INDENT] You need to download the version that is appropriate for the bitness of the MP that you have installed. Scroll down the SourceForge page to where the two zip files are listed, and click the one that you want. I had installed 64-bit MP 1.37, so I downloaded the 64-bit version of XmlTv. The XmlTv zip also contains a more-recent version of the tag definitions, which I used in place of the one included in the MP installer. Result?
