I didnt see any duplicate channel names, but changing the database solved the problem. Thanks!

It works for me. Now that you've requested it wait 24hrs, sometimes it takes Yahoo that long to generate the file the first time. Also, tell me your zip code and post your logs and I'll take a look.

This project is still quite operational.

Hi I tried it today and it is working like a champ. I had problems over 3 days so I am releaved to have it working and love the 14 day guide.

I don't have any channels numbers in the guide and I wonder if there is a setting to add them?

I use the channel numbers to sync my cable box manually using the remote and it's timer function

thank you for your quick reply and hard work.

Cheers!

Hello,
For the past seven days I haven't been able to get an updated EPG using the YApi2XML. I am getting the following error: Schedule file corrupted or not found. All retries failed. I've tried this using 3 different computer systems and am getting the same error. Any suggestions or recommendations?

I've attached my logfile with the re-tries.

Sorry for this slower reply, I just graduated college.

You should be able to go to the options and change the channel format to option number 2.

Try again, it should work now because I definitely just used your zip and provider and it worked great. Hopefully it works for you now.

I couldn't figure this out from reading the wiki, but how often do I need to update the listings? Is there a way to make this happen automatically? And is there a difference between "Get EPG" and "Download and Parse Listings?"

Thanks for this app, it works perfectly (i.e. it's free)!

I believe it gets 14 days so thats your minimum. I did mine once a week.

Yeah, you need that Updateepg.bat file,

They're the same I think...

I saw the instructions:

Quote:There is only one line you need for this program to be run before an epg update:
âc:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\Third Party\yapi2xml\yapi2xml.exeâ update

Where is that program line supposed to be?
Thanks again!
