Another xmltv generator is at http://mc2xml.110mb.com linked from zap2xml page

Interesting but there seems to be no way to select the lineup you want to use. Are you the author by any chance?

Read the "mc2xml setup" section of that web page for selecting the provider.
Works for me setting -g and -c. Use different -D files.dat if you want to save multiple ones.

Ah, I missed that part. I'll look into this as I'm curious to how it works compared to my MceEpg2XmlTv

Wow, that's fast.

Darn, looks like the choice of which guide still requires MCE to be set up for that guide. Unless it's just me. ?

Nice to have yet another program to help make MCE not completely useless, though.

It has a linux version, so it doesn't require MCE

Read the web page for setting a lineup. You enter country & zipcode with -c and -g and then select whatever provider you want.

This works independent of Media Center. Somehow he/she figured out how to download the guide directly. I know how to do it but I was never able to figure out how to get the session token necessary to get the files. Somehow they figured it out.

Yeah, did. Even with a -f in there it tells me "no new data" or something when trying to download from a provider different than what my MCE is set to. I'll keep messing with it.

Delete your mc2xml.dat file or use the "-D" option and specify a different dat file name. It doesn't have to exist.
