Canada users... (or anyone who gets listings in MCE)

It's coming... unfortunately, it requires MCE. (This will also work for the US and any other country for which MCE has guide data.)

Will MCE still require a TV Tuner to be present in the machine that it's running on? (I'm thinking vista premium in a virtual machine.) Btw, thanks for your hard work.

Excellent news, eh. Do you know if this will support QAM since MCE doesn't?

Does anyone in Canada have QAM?

I configured MCE previously with a tuner previously but I have not had it attached sisnce I started working on this program. I will wipe my config and run some extensive tests later.

I don't know what you mean by QAM support. All this app will do is download the guides and export the data to XMLTv format. If you have a QAM card that GB-PVR supports, then you will have QAM support.

I guess I mean digital channels that aren't accessible here because there is no CableCard support and since MCE doesn't support QAM devices I figured that this data might not be available. I can't get MCE to add anything but my analog channels.

I thank you in advance for helping us out. Man I was sweating it out wondering how I was going to keep GBPVR as my HTPC software.

Thanks Whurlston !!

Ah, in that case, you should be able to get your digital lineup. I may have a test for you to run in a 2-3 days just to make sure, if you don't mind.

Sure, glad to help out. I'm running MCE in Vista Home Premium if that makes a difference.

Beggars can't be choosers, but I would say that requiring MCE will be a major problem...

I'm aware of hacks, but I have never been interested in trying it nor having MCE around...

Sure hope there will be an alternative to requiring MCE
