Hi DDH, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by just how efficient and detailed Free-EPG with Oztivo is in VMC (depending of course on your location - if you are near a major capital city or on the East coast, then you will be covered). I notice you are near Adelaide like I am so you will have no problems. Follow these instructions
http://www.xpmediacentre.com.au/comm...or-14-fix.html and you'll be up and running in no time and your EPG will not only update without ever having to touch it, it will be free! Given you previously used BRP and you are now going to use Vista, your series recordings will have to be reset. The best time to set recordings is usually on Friday nights when Oztivo is generally providing a full 7 days of up-coming guide data.
However, if you can locate your current recordings file (e.g. with Vista it is C:\Documents And Settings\All Users\ApplicationData\Microsoft\eHome\Recording\Re cordings.xml When you start redoing all your scheduled recordings VMC will put a new file in place.), copy it as a back up, then once you have started using the new VMC EPG set up, compare the new xml file with the old (open it with notepad) and you may be able to edit the new one by adding your old listings. I have not tested this procedure so you are flying by the seat of your pants. If I was doing it, I'd look at both and select a program that is in the old only but will come on TV over the next day or two... add it to the new xml file and then restart VMC to see if the red series dot(s) appears on the guide for that program! Of course, you would then need to wait and see if it recorded it.
