With online TV Guide grabbers like WebEPG you may get up to 14 days! Configuration Activation When downloading EPG data from DVB, you only get data for the next 48 hours. It doesn't require the user to change any channel names. WebEPG uses the channels created by MediaPortal and with the user's input, maps that to the channel from the TV Guide site. One of the big problems of a general EPG grabbing application, like XMLTV, in MediaPortal is that channel names don't match the names used in MediaPortal, causing the TV guide data not to be imported properly. There are several other programs that do what WebEPG does, but not as easily and not as well integrated with MediaPortal. I really appreciate the help but very frustrated at the complexity involved.WebEPG is a Electronic Program Guide grabbing application. I do have a file named tvguide.xlm (see pic1). I looked in the Recycle Bin and don't see where I had it before. When I click Load/Refresh I get an error box saying the tvguide.lst file is missing (see pic1). I can test them in Test Channels and all channel pass but I can't 'see' them in the XmlTv plugin. Now they all seem to be missing or at least a file named tvguide.lst that points? to them. I closed and then went back and remapped the channels to my card (see pic3). I Saved and then went to General and hit Import and it Imported 93 channels(see pic2). The Guide Channel boxes had the channel info/number/identifier? (no pic but could tell it was correct mapping info) and the red boxes were either yellow or green (not red). I moved all the files into the 'original' folder and it mapped the channels.

I had 2 folders named xmlv from all the installs, I guess and was ponting to the 'wrong' one. Click to expand.Found the problem (thanks to your latter suggestion) but created another problem.
