Country-specific settings

 

TVxb.ini files

The TVxb.ini file contain specific configuration information for your country and PVR setup. Download the .ini file for your country/cable provider and follow the instructions in the Installation Guide to edit the file. You can mix together channels definitions from several different countries or ini files.

If your country is not listed below, there are channels missing, or it is otherwise not working for you, then let me know through the Feedback page. I'll do my best, however, please understand that sometimes I might be away from my mail for a while due to work, holidays etc.

There is no guarantee that the listings below will always work. Web-site formats change - for most sites as often as once a year. This means that what works today might stop working.
