Ok. I've put a static file up on Amazon S3 with the corrected content, and my Media Center is now updating the guide hooray!

Only 1 file needed: http://haventech-epg-proxy.s3.amazonaws.com/epg/GetTVServicesMetaInfo.html

Everything else is still updated from Haventech (dropbox) directly.

My process to change the domain name being used was as follows


1. Create a file with the following name - external.ini - and the following contents:


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Service\EPG]
"discSvc"="http://haventech-epg-proxy.s3.amazonaws.com/epg/GetTVServicesMetaInfo.html"



2. Create a cmd file named whatever you want (e.g. fixmyepg.cmd) with the following contents:

net stop "GoNZo Guide Discovery Service"
reg import external.ini
net start "GoNZo Guide Discovery Service"

3. Open a command prompt as administrator and run the CMD script you just created.

Note: I take no responsibility for you screwing up your registry. Nor do I promise that this file will live in this location forever.

Hope this helps someone.

Gave up and went to epgstream. Really think that I need to get around to that Win7 + BSG install at some point. Must check for some money in the couch cushions again.

Perfect - thankyou for this. I assume when Haventech sees this he will be able to fix his end.

Big thanks to Haventech for still supporting this!!

@slartibartfast thanks for the troubleshooting!

Guess I must have uploaded the wrong GetTVServicesMetaInfo.html file somehow -doh! I run win7 myself so didn't notice the problem.

I have uploaded the correct version now. Sorry about that guys!

@haventech, I have noticed Sky Movies & Cartoon Network are missing data in the epg. The guide shows no listings

Using Big Screen & WMC7




I'm not a complete idiot, I still have some parts missing.
