One reason to use the epg.pvr.geek.nz data rather than xmltvnz is that it's free. Even the tools used to create it are free. You don't have to "donate" to get a closed peice of software which just scrapes websites.
have followed the instructions on the tutorial (didnt install or do anything with tvxb as i need sky listings)
created the batch file as you described (with changes for the sky listings instead.. think im right?)..
REM ****************************************** REM ***** Fetch EPG from epg.pvr.geek.nz ***** REM ****************************************** c: cd c:\Windows\ehome\bladerunnerpro\ del /q /f listings-sky.xml.gz wget "http://epg.pvr.geek.nz/epg/listings-sky.xml.gz" del /q /f c:\Windows\ehome\BladeRunnerPro\listings-sky.xml gzip -d c:\Windows\ehome\BladeRunnerPro\listings-sky.xml copy /Y listings2.xml c:\WINDOWS\ehome\BladeRunnerPro\GuideData\xmltv.xml copy /Y xmltv.dtd c:\WINDOWS\ehome\BladeRunnerPro\GuideData\xmltv.dtd copy /Y skyChannelInfo.xml c:\WINDOWS\ehome\BladeRunnerPro\Quickguide\ChannelInfo.xml BladeRunner.exe REM ******************************************
but have a feeling im missing things, the tutorial in the tvxb section talks about the ChannelInfo file but i dont have anything in this? ie, virtually blank? i get to the point where bladerunner shouyld create a guide.bin file but when running bladerunner i get..

Thats the first problem i see. You need to either put wget into the c:\Windows\ehome\BladeRunnerPro directory or add the directory that it is in to your command. Same for gzip.
