If you are using the psycon script without modification, the *.body files would go into the bin folder. You will have to rename "dummy_eng.body" to "dummyeng.body" though. I try to make it as easy as possible for him to drop the files to where they go, but I didn't check the english dummy.

If you see files from me, they just usually go into the bin folder, with the exception of the WebGrab++.config.xml, which goes into C:/ProgramData/ServerCare/WebGrab folder.

Dara, yes I am using his script... Do both dummy_eng.body and dummy_eng.xml need the _ chopped off before moving to bin folder?
 
Update for UK channels, and dummies. (added dmax, alibi and itv be, and corrections for peru. BBC Three and BBC Four already in the UK chl and didn't need a rename.).

Update for UK channels to get 4 Seven. Also time correct for Webgrabplus to correctly sync Astro Supersport. For some reason, Astro doesn't have listings for live events, so if you see a blank spot in the guide, it means that there is some live event going on, but it made it hard to figure out where the guide actually was.
 
I've been able to get the batch file installed and it worked to generate a xml EPG; however, I think the time zone is off a bit. I noticed that the go.bat file contains a section that refers to Pacific Time (snip below). I'm comfortable editing the batch file as needed to set it to Eastern Time. Does anyone know which part to change?

rem setting time for Midnight, Pacific Daylight Time

sed.exe -e "s/20150513213/%Yr%%Mth%%Day%070/g" dummy1.txt > dummy1_1.txt
sed.exe -e "s/2016051322/%Day1%07/g" dummy1_1.txt > dummy1_conv.txt

sed.exe -e "s/20150513213/%Day1%070/g" dummy2.txt > dummy2_1.txt
sed.exe -e "s/2016051322/%Day2%07/g" dummy2_1.txt > dummy2_conv.txt

sed.exe -e "s/20150513213/%Day2%070/g" dummy3.txt > dummy3_1.txt
sed.exe -e "s/2016051322/%Day3%07/g" dummy3_1.txt > dummy3_conv.txt

Thanks,

That code only changes the dummy listings to start at midnight Pacific for the current day, not the rest of the schedule, otherwise the dummy listings wouldn't show at all. To adjust the time shift, look for the code that changes the time zone from UTC "+0000":

Code:
line 357
sed.exe -e "s/+0000/-0100/g" < "NFPSF.xml" > "NFPSFD.xml"

line 441
sed.exe -e "s/+0000/-0100/g" < "NFPSE.xml" > "NFPSED.xml"

This code doesn't change the webgrab channel schedules though, as those aren't originally set for UTC. Change the "-0100" to "-0200"

Thanks Dara... it seemed to be working fine again, so who knows? I kept looking at the pvr stalker addon to see if there was a time shift option within, but didn't see it. There is a time zone setting, but had read somewhere to leave it set as is. I did read through some earlier threads that warned users that they were on their own if they edit the batch file, so now that it's working, I'll just leave well enough alone for now.

Thanks,

Updates for added and changed dummy and US channels. Special thanks for thegame16 for the updates to the channel list... especially like the specified updates over on the other site.
