That skin is the "default" skin.You can just go to settings under visual and select it

Well, that I should've noticed. That's on me. But the reason I didn't--My EPG not transparent at all, it's fullscreen and solid black. Any ideas why? I double checked that all the dependencies were installed, and dynamic artwork and whatnot are enabled. I'm using OpenELEC.

Try to disable "video window patcher"This causes in my set up the black epg screen.
Restart xbmc and u must be ok

It worked! And I now feel sufficiently silly that I could figure out adding streams and making channels, but using the default skin was too hard to figure out on my own Anyway, thanks for the help!
