Hi, is there a way to keep the tv guide listings updated automatically? I'm using I-xmltv utility to downoad the guide data becaue I like all the extra info it provides. Every time the data is about to run out, i have to run update epg from the I-xmltv folder. Is there a way of keeping hte guide data updated without having to go to the folder and double click on update epg to get an update of the listings? Thanks.

I think the simplest way is to make it a scheduled task in windows. (Under the Control Panel in win2000 - probably similar in XP). I have my epg grabber program run at 4am every morning, but you can specify how often and when you want the program to run.
cheers, tieke

Move UpdateEPG.bat from the I-xmltv folder into the GBPVR folder.
