Thanks expatter.
I have built my own guide a couple times. I do have an SD account, use if for my NextPVR on OTA channels.
I've used Webgrab+ and have it configured for 300 channels, served up on my Appache instance. This method is just hit/miss with content, plus the ever changing cookie requirements. I tried with SD files, but the UK channels could not be added to my SD account. I think only the JSON method might allow this.
I found the TV Guide Fullscreen's ability very good, plus I can combine a secondary XML source. I can turn off/on various channels and it's nice eye candy.
I like a challenge, so maybe I'll fire up mc2xml again and give it a go! I did use it a few yrs ago, but I don't think it had the SD interface.
thanks cwh
