Thanks for that update. I did mine on a lower version of Ubuntu, and I didn't leave it running long enough to test the Cron job, so I'm sure you're right.
I assume that the part that is critical that is missing is the change directory command....
One more thing: How did you get ESXi to recognize the 2250? I also have a 2250, but my ESXi would not pass it through to the VMs, which is why I switched to a network tuner...
I've revised the guide to include your fix on the cron job!

I would like to see the section, below, edited with regards to the cron job. I had to use the following script to get mine working (under an Ubuntu 12.04LTS VM using ESXi 5.5 as the hypervisor).
#!/bin/sh
# Update Program Guide Information Daily
cd /home/hts/mc2xml
/home/hts/mc2xml/mc2xml

sudo nano /etc/cron.daily/mc2xml
type the following:
# Update Program Guide Information Daily
/home/hts/mc2xml/mc2xml
CTRL-X, Y to save and exit
sudo chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/mc2xml
I'd also like to note that I'm using a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250 card passed to the Ubuntu VM to receive ATSC OTA broadcasts in the USA, and that works quite nicely with the setup you describe in your guide.
