This STV import takes the incredible MovieTimes STV Import created by aperry and provides a STV import that is customized for the SageMC based STV. The download zip here contains aperry's download with all of the support files but with an update MTSA movie info download program and the original MovieTimes.stvi replaced by MovieTimes_SageMC.xml. This xml file is now re-importable. You can load the newer version of the import file even if you have an older version installed.
Follow the instructions in the original MovieTimes.pdf file with the following exceptions:
Step 4 - Select MovieTimes_SageMC.xml as the import file
Steps 5-12 - Not relevant to SageMC, instead follow the instructions farther down this page called Adding Movie Times to Main Menu.
After adding Movie Times to the menu, follow the remaining instructions starting at step 13 to complete the configuration.
If just updating an existing installation, just run import the new import file updating the mtsa.exe program (not the config.xml and locations.xml file!)

Adding Movie Times to Main Menu
Option 1
To add it to the SageMC MyMenu page without using studio, here are some easy instructions I modified from flachbar on adding it to My Menu.
enable My Menu in the main menu options menu (ESC on keyboard)
go to My Menu
you'll get an error screen, but just ignore it
bring up the options menu
Add new menu item
Internal screen
scroll down to "Movie Times Main"' and select it
enter a name for the menu
bring up options menu again, select 'save menu def file'
bring up options menu again, select 're-read menu def file'
now you should have a menu item which will open up the Movie Times screen
The other option is to go into
Settings->Detailed Setup->Advanced->Sage 16X9 Options->Menus
and specify "Movie Times Main" for one of the Custom Menu Screens. You must enable the Dynamic Menus at the top of that page
This 2nd option is not available under the original mlbdude SageMC STV.
