Thanks for answering, I appreciate your suggestion about installing and configuring mythweb. Solving the HD-3000 DVB driver problems just seemed to be enough of a burden without adding any extras, such as mythweb. I do have all the XMLTV IDs written down, so I can give your alternative idea a try. At least, it would be a starting place, just to see if it's possible to get the Guide Data and try to record using it. Thanks again for your help. -- MM _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
