Im super happy, after trying 3 different pvr cards, i finally got one working, diamond PVR 560

I like it so far, my only concerns are that i cant seam to get the TV guide or schedule to work

The TV stations dont match up with any names, can someone help me out here or link me to what i need to do since i am sure this question has been asked a million times before

Country, MyTV or TVE3, DVB, Analogue or ATSC these can make a difference to who helps you, also MP version.

USA- California

Basic cable (not sure if that is atsc)

mp version 0.2.3.0

Not sure what myTV or TVe3 is

I ran through the tutorial on how to set up webepg but it didnt work

i was able to rename some channels but when i clicked the "..." button to search for the channel many many many channels are not listed, like comedy central etc.

Plus i only saw Eastern coast and Central channels, no west coast ( i am guessing i will choose central)

I use MyTV and the SchedulesDirect plug-in (which requires an annual subscription) and all is well. SD stepped up when Zap2it got out of the free business. $15/year isn't a bad deal for all the features MP provides!

Once you've established an account at SD and setup your station data, load the SD plugin, do a channel scan and then run MP.

By any chance are there any Free alternatives??
thanks!
