TV Guide

[JohnD]

Is it possible to alter the TV Guide to show local variations? I'd like to show Yorkshire ITV rather than London and also add Sky Travel to the list. How can I do this?

You'll need to look into using XMLTV which may be able to give you the listings you need. These channels will not be possible using the bleb EPG data.

When I click on 'Settings' to set up XMLTV it asks for the 'XMLTV File'. What file am I looking for??

You'll need to install third party XMLTV software. This is responsible for generating XMLTV files which GB-PVR can use. See http://www.xmltv.org

Perhaps I haven't been too clear! I already have XMLTV installed and it shows as an EPG Source in the GBPVR configuration. However if I click on 'Settings' it asks for 'XMLTV File'. What file is it looking for?? (see picture)

You'll probably need to remove the capture source (which has existing channel information), and re-add it. It'll save problems in the long run.

When you run the XMLTV software, it produces an xml file. This file is called different things, and stored in different places depending on what part of the world you're in. I tell XMLTV to generate a file called listings.xml. The documentation that can with your XMLTV software should tell you what the file name is.

When you've got your XMLTV software successfully generating an xml file containing listings, then just point GB-PVR at your listings file.
