I had a little time so here what you need to get this setup.
Files
default.py - replacement for current ustvnow default.py
Icons - Icons for TVGuide
ABC.strm etc - Strm files to point TVGuide to the correct stream.
zap2xml.exe - program to grab the listings
USTV EPG Grab.bat - Batch file to automatically run the zap2xml.exe
USTVNOW Files - https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12292059/USTVNOW.zip - 2.5MB
Step 1 - Copy default.py into
C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\plugin.video.ustvnow
replacing the current file.
Step 2 - Register with zap2it.com - http://tvlistings.zap2it.com/tvlistings/...aid=zap2it
Change your location to 17101 - Dish Harrisburg - Satellite Local
Then Set Preferences - and select channels
8 - WGAL (NBC)
15 - WLYH (The CW)
21 - WHP (CBS)
27 - WHTM (ABC)
33 - WITF (PBS)
43 - WPMT (FOX)
238 - WWOR (My9)
Tick boxes Six Hour Grid & Show only favourites and save.
Step 3 Open the USTV EPG Grab.bat in notepad and change the username and password to your own and save.
With both the USTV EPG Grab.bat and zap2xml.exe in the same folder. Run the bat file.
As the name suggests this will grab the EPG for the channels.
Step 4 In XBMC and tvguide in the settings point the XMLTv option the US TV data.xml file you have just create and the icons option to the icons folder.
Open tvguide and this will populate the epg click on a channel it will ask you for a strm file navigate to the named strm files you have extracted from the zip file. Do this for all the channels and you should be done.
Thanks for that. It works perfectly however is it normal for it to not pull programme descriptions for the shows?.
Yeah the information isn't always the best you can pay for better information but I make do with the free.
