Hi all,

I've been using Mediaportal and mentalindustries EPG grabber utility for the last couple of years. Absolutely brilliant!

I noticed yesterday my guide was about to run out, and noticed that my tvguide.xml hasn't been updated since last Wednesday (I have a daily scheduled task).

I forced a run of the task, and this seems to be what comes back:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

tal TV Server\freeviewNZ-EPG.exe" -mediaportalTVServer

As I say, this has been working for months with no issues. I haven't changed any settings or installed any software in the last few weeks. It seems as if my PC isn't gettng a connection through to the pvr.geek.nz site.

I've tried disabling my firewall (Zonealarm) in case that was causing any issues, and also reset my router. I can't seem to get through to pvr.geek.nz (if I type that into firefox) on either my HTPC or laptop - should I be able to?

Does anyone have any ideas what I might need to do to sort ths out? Anyone else having similar problems??

Thanks in advance,
Danny
