[QUOTE="vort, post: 162801, member: 52357"] Ok, it worked!!! Here is what I did step by step: 1. Download Yahoo! Go for TV [URL="http://sites.mobile.yahoo.com/go/tv/index"]http://sites.mobile.yahoo.com/go/tv/index[/URL] 2. Download latest YahooXMLTv utility from [URL="http://forums.gbpvr.com/showthread.php?t=27546"]http://forums.gbpvr.com/showthread.php?t=27546[/URL] 3. Ran Yahoo Go for TV Install 4. From command line, navigated to the Yahoo Go for TV Install directory and keyed "ygtvwizardhost.exe {11534277-7823-4E49-AFE6-587805632302}" without quotes. This allows you to choose and setup your lineup without going through the hassle of selecting a tuner and such. If the number above doesn't work, try browsing to the \plugins\wizard\tvlineups directory and open the TVLinups.plugin file with notepad and copy the plugin id and use that in place of the numbers in brackets above. 5. Once I selected the lineup, I unzipped the YahooXMLTv download to c:\yahooxmltv. 6. From commandline, I ran C:\yahooxmltv\YahooXMLtv.exe days=5 This tells the program to only get 5 days of data. The default is 14 days. 7. Once the xml file was created, I manually renamed it to "tvguide.xml" and copied to MediaPortal\XMLTV 8. I went into the MediaPortal config, to the Television => Program Guide and made sure the path to tvguide.xml was correct. Use time zone info from XMLTV file was checked, and I had to enter -4.0 Hours for the offset. Click on update guide with timezone offset. 9. For fun, I clicked on Remove all Programs from TV database 10. I then when to Television => TV Channels and click Import from TV guide. Opened up MediaPortal, and all was well. Some notes and wishes: What's nice about the utility is that once you have Yahoo Go for TV setup, you never have to go into it again. Everytime you run the utility, it automatically updates the channel listing. In the commandline you can tell the utility what directory to save the xml file in by using dir= All we need is a script to run the utility and rename the file to tvguide.xml or be able to specify in MediaPortal the name of the XML file. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
