If creating a virtual machine is too hard for you, I can upload an image of mine to make things easier. (will provide eventually)

Better yet, if you're willing to, you can install a virtual serial port (such as VSPE or com0com) and SerialToIP to make things easier and just install PC Prevue (using an installer I created with Inno) on your machine (I tested PC Prevue on x64 and can confirm it does work)

I'm willing to make a step-by-step tutorial for this eventually, however I'm currently busy at the moment so it will have to wait for a bit.

Are you sure?

Did you set up a Zap2it account? Did you set up the command correctly?

I do and I entered the best that I could... But to no avail... Is there a workaround!?!? Is there a Discord!?!?

There's two things I discovered while using PC Prevue:
One, I assigned "sumbySrc" to a small selection of channels in the channels.csv file (apparently, there's a limit as to how many channels can use "sumbySrc") and PC Prevue displayed the grid summary with no problem. 6-19-2021_summarybysource2.png

And two, it may not be that important, but I also found out that sometimes, a movie synopsis might get cut off at the bottom if it goes too long. 6-18-2021_moviesynopsiscutsoff.png

(Also note that I added my own "Showing Soon" and "What's On Now" images since I was using "PIE".)

Previously, I tried using SerialtoIP and com0com to send the listings to the software, which I installed with the PCPrevueSetup file, but no matter what I tried, it didn't work. I could boot the software, but no listings would come. Thus, I decided to run it on Windows 95 through DOSBox, and it seemed to work.
