Finally got xmltv to go and for me it went like this: 1. tv_grab_na_dd --configure (follow prompts) 2. tv_grab_na_dd --days 14 --output listings.xml 3. dragged and dropped listings.xml onto the EyeTV icon in the dock 4. waited for EyeTV to parse (spinning beach ball o' death) 5. go to EyeTV -> Preferences -> Guide and select None. if it complains, let it. close out Preferences 6. ***RESTART EYETV*** (I got nothing to show up until I did this) 5. go to "Channels" in left hand bar 6. choose a channel and under the EPG column switch it to xmltv 7. a listing of your channels should show up if the xml imported properly. choose the channel assignment that matches the one you're working on 8. you should now be able to see something in the guide for that channel (if you don't, trying restarting EyeTV again) Well... that worked for me. I'm off to write cron jobs and applescripts to automate this! I got this working in 3.0.1 after an entire day trying to get xmltv in install on my mac mini. Finally got xmltv to go and for me it went like this:

1. tv_grab_na_dd –configure (follow prompts)

2. tv_grab_na_dd –days 14 –output listings.xml

3. dragged and dropped listings.xml onto the EyeTV icon in the dock

4. waited for EyeTV to parse (spinning beach ball o’ death)

5. go to EyeTV -> Preferences -> Guide and select None. if it complains, let it. close out Preferences

6. ***RESTART EYETV*** (I got nothing to show up until I did this)

5. go to “Channels” in left hand bar

6. choose a channel and under the EPG column switch it to xmltv

7. a listing of your channels should show up if the xml imported properly. choose the channel assignment that matches the one you’re working on

8. you should now be able to see something in the guide for that channel (if you don’t, trying restarting EyeTV again)

Well… that worked for me. I’m off to write cron jobs and applescripts to automate this!

Would you be so kind to send a sample xmltv file which is working with your EyeTV 3.0.1 EPG? I might cross-check it with mine.

Check out my second screenshot.

This will not work on the official versions, and as far as I know, the beta is not public. If you do have the beta version, drag the XML file from Finder on the eyetv icon on the Dock, this should work. @eFi: do you have the beta version?
