    Same problem as a few years ago. Hope you can find the answer for me. Had to redo my media center computer and reinstall Windows 7. Installed newest EPG Collector, Zap2Xml, .net, Visual C Runtime 2010. Using OTA listings and antenna. Ends with code 0. The listings do not show in Windows Media Center. Did what I did last time but did not work. Ran Zap2mxl again and EPG Centre + EPG Collector with same results. xmltv.xml file is 36mb. How can I make it small enough to send? Thank you for your help...

    Mine quit updating when the scheduled update ran on Monday as well. WMC had the same message that the update failed. I ran the EPG Collector manually, the listings were populated, but it stopped at the line "LoadMXFmessage: Loading...99%". It never completed. If I close the program manually, the listings dissapeared and the WMC message is displayed again. I ran the TPG Collector again with the same results. So this time I just minimized the program so the listings would be saved. It also kills scheduled...

    Don't know what happened. Not a clue. EPG exit with code 0. Opened WMC this morning sitll no listings. Clicked "view catagories" to the left of the station id's. The listings get fully populated. This was with Fixpac 18. I will see if it automatically runs on Monday. Thanks for your help Steve, It now exits with "0" every time.

    Exit with code 0 but no listings. I even turned off my virus software when installing and running the program this time. Running again with no frequency selected.

    Well almost 3 hours later, it exits with code 0 but no listings are in WMC. I am going to uninstall EPG Collector, reinstall it and add Fixoak 18 as that is the earliest one I kept. Here is the collector file from this last attempt.

    I kept switching channels until one said 100% when processing. And I also tcked the box you mentioned. Will see what happens in 2 hours. All channels show up in the guide, and in the channel editing section of WMC there just are not any listings for them. When I ren the WMC signal strength program, channel 2 has all green bars on all tuners. Don't know why it shows 0 strength. Same with the other channels I tried. Fingers crossed!

    That did not work, so I removed over 100 channels and ended up with a smaller file.

    Can not attach file 35+mb too large. I will delete it and run the EPG Centre again. I sure don't know how you figure this stuff out, but I am glad that you do. Thank you.

    I removed the frequency and it ended with code 0. Still no guide listings are displayed. I turned off WMC, restarted computer, turned on WMC, changed some EPG Centre settings and tried again. Ended code 0 but still no listings. I wonder why it worked for a couple months and then stopped on March 2nd.

    Yes Stev,e I saw that and tried another frequency. The result was the same. Vieving others logs I just thought that was because they were not using terrestial signals. My listings are all gone now and going down the list in Media Center shows no entries for any of the channels. I removed the frequency completely and will see what happens with that. If that does not work, I will turn off WMC, restart the machine, and then turn on the WMC feature again. I appreciate your wealth of knowledge.

    Steve has been doing a terrific job getting this thing running. I finally got it to work back in January. Thia Monday it quit updating as scheduled. I tried updating the listings manually but that did not work either. So I removed EPG Collector, downloaded a new copy,, added the latest fixpac and for 2 days tried again and again. I have looked at different posts and changed settings to no avail. It always ends with code 10. I do see that when running an error occurs at "23:50:21:755 Collecting Master...
