One other option is to install MCEbuddy. It automatically converts the .TS (and .WTV from WMC) to MP4 and can strip commercials.
I have used it for years and it works great

Hello and welcome Ron :)
This is a personal choice. Everybody will have a different opinion. From a MediaPortal perspective you get the same product and features with both W7 and W10, so the choice really depends on preferences that aren't directly related to MediaPortal...
Again, this is a personal choice. You can install...

First a grateful thanks to all the hard work by the team, the time and effort you all have put into this is huge and I thank...
Actually I hadn't looked at the hardware for so long I confused myself. It has an AGP slot for video but the two TV cards are PCIe x1 (Colossus and HVR-1850). USB is version 3 though (Or so device manager says).
I might just switch to external recorders since Cable up here is all encrypted digital now so tuners are redundant. I would...

I had/have a problem of not deleting RE TV - I have not put any time into following it up. I have a hunch it is something to do with COMSKIP and or that process. It is hit and miss sometimes I can delete and at other times I cannot delete files...

Anyone know why Media Portal wont delete certain recorded TV programmes when you tell it to ?
Is this a known issue ? I suspose I...
Works on my MP machine with remote just fine. For some reason the videos don't actually play - I get a still picture from the video and it sits waiting forever. Videos play fine on my laptop though so I probably have something wrong on the MP machine. Didn't have time to go through it last night so after work today I'll hit the logs...

It can somehow, normally it does not, it's to indicate that something try to display not from the main thread, it seems to be related to TOPBAR, it can be a plugin that trigger it.
Does it do the same with watchdog first option ?

Sure. :)
You can't find a configuration tool because there is no such tool. Everything except the TV stuff (which is the only commonality with MP1) is configured from inside MP2. As I understand it, this is the same approach as WMC uses.
When I said the wiki doesn't offer advice, I meant that you won't find it saying things like...

Hello and welcome! :)
Thank you for posting log files and filling in your system specifications - that's very much appreciated. (y)
I've checked your log files. I don't see any errors, but I don't see any attempts to view TV either.
When you first enter MediaPortal, you should be presented with the home screen:

Hello and welcome to the forum Laly :)
We definitely haven't intentionally removed that feature, and as far as I'm aware it "just works" without any settings. Any chance you could collect some log files for us? To collect log files, use the Watchdog with option 2 to start MediaPortal, reproduce the problem, close MediaPortal, then...

Hello and welcome Willy.
My understanding is yes and MP2 may be able to use Plex library - sure you'll get far more meaningful answers from someone:)
Require - no, certainly not in UK if your using Freeview, does not mean you cannot use additional guides [I use XMLTV].
.ts and I use VideoRedo - no problems at all. For format...

Hello
It gets it from the guide data source you have chosen to use.
TV Server doesn't "determine" season/episode details. It simply accepts and stores whatever is passed to it from the guide data source you choose to use. There's no matching or other processing involved.
My advice is that you need to solve this problem at the...

I resolved the above problem, and it *was* audio related: All audio from the server PC went mute and I finally rolled back the audio driver (AMD driver for HDMI output) and it has been working ever since. The HDMI audio driver came as part of a video driver update pushed from AMD. No more video card updates for me!
Thanks for...

New log bundle attached. FYI, in TVService.log the log entries related to my most recent repro of the problem start at timestamp: 2015-09-30 17:52:00,499. (That's the time the PC woke up from sleep to do a recording at 18:00.)
Thanks for your help.

If you don't find evidence of limiting and you want help then you will need to post log files showing the problem. The log files will help to clarify whether the problem is a MediaPortal playback problem, TV Server time-shifting problem, tuner signal problem, network problem... or other.
Have you enabled...

I'd actually suggest MP2 over MP1 for a new user because it's much easier to setup and decide require you to install and configure as many plugins.
From your fairly basic questions I think you may struggle a bit with MP1 installation and setup, however I'm sure if you were happy to put the time in you could still use MP1 but you'd...

Ah I get you now, thanks. The PC's own idle/sleep settings aren't enough to put it to sleep then? Would expect to only require wake up to record. The PC's own idle/sleep settings can send it to sleep if configured.

Thanks CyberSimian, Windows Media Center is also used all over the world and it was much easier (maybe not for other parts of the world then).
Anyway, I've now upgraded to Windows 10 so am fully committed to MP now!

TV channel numbers are incorrect for me (e.g, BBC One HD is 66 instead of 101, 4Seven is 48 instead of 47). Can these be...
While playing a recording, you can use the remote control or keyboard to enter 4 numeric digits; these digits represent hours and minutes from the start of the recording. So entering "0032" on the remote would skip to the point in the recording which is 0 hours 32 minutes from the start.
You can also use the UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT...

Actually you can get EPG data from ATSC using a program called EPG Collector. The problem is that you have to run it more then a few times a day because some channels only provide a few hours of data. Some like CBS if I remember correctly provide around 24 hours of data. But very few channels do this. Also downloading of EPG data...
