I tried VDR plugin, it is good but I would prefer to avoid to have two different program. Thank in advance Cristiano Hi. It is already there. You should (or, this is what I did): a) install DVB card, load modules etc. b) create your chanels.conf file (by using dvbscan) and store in ~/.tzap and ~/.mplayer dirs (what I did during testing is created channels.conf in home dir and did just symlinks to this file) c) make sure it works :) (i.e. tzap -r + mplayer -v /dev/dvb/adapterX/dvr0 (or /dev/videoX/???? if your card is supported by video4linux). Also, try "mplayer dvb://<channel_name>" d) configure your local_conf.py: d1) to match channels in TV_CHANNELS variable d2) to setup XMLTV_GRABBER variable d3) this might be only me but I needed to add "VIDEO_GROUPS[0].group_type = 'dvb'" line to the file d4) you might take a look at your VCR_CMD to tweak parameters for mencoder, if you wish e) make a cron job to download TV guide (I do this every mroning around 5, I guess) Well, this should do it. I hope I did not forget anything important, HTH. Cheers, Dale
