Sup guys?

my MCE computer has no internet connection available. can i download
the tv guide on another pc (which obviously has an internet
connection) and transfer it to the MCE computer with a USB drive?

It's obviously not supported & the machine connected to the Internet would have to be running MCE &
have the same programme guide as the machine that is not connected to the Internet. However it can
be done as I recall some while ago reading a posting from somone who did exactly that. As I recall
they just copied everything from the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\eHome\EPG folder.
