−	The information for this guide comes from [http://mc2xml.my3gb.com/ mc2xml Web Page] the same page used to obtain the download. The program can be used in different manners than what will be described here in this guide. If a user wishes to experiment with the other features, or functions, the information for this can be found on the same page. In the F.A.Q. section there is an area for MediaPortal starting with the question, "How would I use mc2xml with MediaPortal?"
−
−	In the MediaPortal section there is a link to an xmltv.dtd file. Click on the link and copy the complete page and paste it into an opened Notepad document. Save the file as, xmltv.dtd (make sure to change the "Save as type:" to "All Files (.)" so Notepad does not rename the file with the .txt extension). Save the file to the same location where the mc2xml downloaded file is stored.
−
−	The mc2xml program will need a working folder. At the location where the mc2xml program file and the xmltv.dtd file is stored, create a new folder and call it, "mc2xml". Move the mc2xml program file and the xmltv.dtd file into the mc2xml folder.
−
−	~~mc2xml is a command line program. In order to make it easy for all users to navigate a folder structure with dos commands, copy the mc2xml folder to the system hard drive, C:\.~~

−	~~Summary:~~
−
−	~~There should be an mc2xml folder, at the root of the system hard drive.~~
