I am also having the same issue ... although I've never gotten it to work, apparently because I started after 7/7/2015.
I have setup mc2xml (and the script, etc.) to create the EPG from Microsoft Legacy.
In answer to a question above (directed to jcharlesmith), I looked thru the xmltv.xml and the XML looks right ... and they are mostly future schedule.
Here's a classic example (sched for Tuesday at 6PM, I believe) ...
[COLOR="#0000FF"]
<programme start="20150804180000 -0500" stop="20150804183000 -0500" channel="I1038.272674189.microsoft.com">
[INDENT] <title lang="en">Ozzie and Harriet</title>
<category lang="en">Comedy</category>
<category lang="en">Series</category>
<episode-num system="ms_progid">1.SH007348560000</episode-num>
<episode-num system="dd_progid">SH00734856.0000</episode-num>[/INDENT] </programme>
[/COLOR]
In my NPVR/Script/UpdateEPG.bat file, I'm telling it to give me the next 168 hours, starting from 2 hours ago.
[COLOR="#0000FF"]
mc2xml -d 168 -s -2
[/COLOR]
And (as far as I can tell) that is working ... I looked at the XML it created in Notepad.
(The list includes about everything ... from Game of Thrones to Gilligan's Island ... from NFL Politics to Underwater Basketweaving.)
I can see the TV shows, dates, times, descriptions, etc. in there, but NextPVR cannot ... and I don't know why.
Something is apparently hidden in that XML that's telling NextPVR to look the other way, like it's not there.
At one point in my testing, however, I did (but no longer do) see a 'ghost' of it's presence in the EPG list.
For certain channels, the "no show detail" blocks would be offset --- out of line with the half-hour headers, just like a true EPG listing would typically be.
I assume that was because there was a program there (in the hidden EPG) that starts at an odd time.
(NPVR just couldn't tell me any more.)
But at that time, I realized that all my dates were in the past because I was missing the minus sign (-) on the number of hours offset (-s -2).
I guess if you don't give it a plus nor minus sign, then mc2xml treats it as an 'absolute hour', perhaps starting from the oldest history it has to refer to.
(They all had dates from about mid-July.)
I've since corrected that (and now get future dates).
So ... has anyone who've been successful in getting their XMLTV from Microsoft Legacy working in the past been able to get it to still get to work ... since 7/7/2015?
