Not authentic Prevue (but the sample config uses the correct colors)
I needed a scrolling program guide for the cable system I maintain at my job.
It's a C# application (you'll need Visual Studio) that reads schedule info from XMLTV files. I'm sure it wouldn't take much for someone to make it look more like Prevue.

Re: EPG that reads XMLTV files
This is neat! I've always wanted to have a scrolling program guide, Prevue or not, that has XMLTV support.

Re: EPG that reads XMLTV files
How do you get XMLTV listings into the EPG? I've tried to feed some listings generated with WebGrab+Plus yet nothing seems to be functioning. Is there something I'm missing?

Re: EPG that reads XMLTV files
Each channel you want to display needs to be defined in the epg.xml file, in the channels section. I included a sample of the epg.xml file I'm using.
You have to set the file parameter for each channel to be the filename of the XMLTV file containing your listings. channel_id matches each channel with one in the XMLTV file.
