I really appreciate the help but very frustrated at the complexity involved.

I do have a file named tvguide.xlm (see pic1). You point the TV-Server to the directory where your tv-guide.xml is 2. I looked in the Recycle Bin and don't see where I had it before. xmltv is not working for me (1 Viewer) 1. When I click Load/Refresh I get an error box saying the tvguide.lst file is missing (see pic1). I can test them in Test Channels and all channel pass but I can't 'see' them in the XmlTv plugin. Now they all seem to be missing or at least a file named tvguide.lst that points? to them. Here is a list of XMLTV Programs that work with MediaPortal. Then you can use the XMLTV plugin for MediaPortal to import the data into your TV Guide. There are several programs available which can download EPG data for you in XMLTV format. Now click on XMLTV URL for install EPG click on Livestream TV M3U Stream Player is a Perfect Set Top Box-style IPTV / Live Media Player to Stream IPTV from smart TVs, tablets, STBs, and smartphones with the Automatic Check for M3U Playlist Channel Connectivity feature Teleprogramma or XMLTV channel, call the context menu (long tap of an element in the list). I closed and then went back and remapped the channels to my card (see pic3). XMLTV is an XML based file format for describing TV listings. I Saved and then went to General and hit Import and it Imported 93 channels(see pic2). The Guide Channel boxes had the channel info/number/identifier? (no pic but could tell it was correct mapping info) and the red boxes were either yellow or green (not red). I moved all the files into the 'original' folder and it mapped the channels. I had 2 folders named xmlv from all the installs, I guess and was ponting to the 'wrong' one. Click to expand.Found the problem (thanks to your latter suggestion) but created another problem. Also there is nothing in the Program FilesTeam MediaPortalMediaPortalxmltv folder.
