How to make a batch file to update XMLTV

Yeah, I think you need a password. You can however setup a password and have Windows do automatic login even with a password for you. I don't remember from the top of my head, but if you google a bit you should find how to do that.

A bit late I know but anyway:
Start-run: control userpasswords2 should do it.

There is a check box you can tick in the Scheduled Task Properties that says " Run when Logged On" or something. Tick that and you don't need a password.

You don't NEED to run my batch file from a scheduled task, thats just the way I did it ( can't remember why now). If you put all the files into the GBPVR folder and rename the batch file to updateEPG.bat that should work also.

im been lazy but how often does the updateEPG.bat run?

Every time gbpvr updates the EPG, which is normally once per 24 hours. You can configure at which time this should occur, and then GBPVR randomly picks a time between your chosen one and +/- 1 hour (or is it +/- half an hour? can't remember.)
