[QUOTE="pfilippone, post: 1301863, member: 171757"] I think I found a workable and FREE solution. [URL='https://epgshare01.online/']EPGSHARE01[/URL] is a site that seems to provide FREE EPGs for lots of countries. I wrote a batch file that downloads the USA EPG file (yes, one file for the WHOLE USA). It comes as a compressed .gz file. The batch file extracts the gz file (you need to get gzip. Just Google it). Then I had to (just the one time) remap the channels in TV Server > plugins > XmlTv (Oh what fun!), since the channel names are not the same as what Zap2It used to have. Oh, and update the task scheduler to run the batch file instead of the mc2xml/zap2it file. EDIT: I couldn't get this method to work. So I went back to the windows host file trick, except using IP=52.27.89.57 . I confirm that works. Who knows how long this will last?? [/QUOTE]
