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

MP1 MP2 Step by Step DE
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...

MP1 MP2 Multiple recording machines (1 Viewer) DE
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...

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...

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 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...

To add to what Ron said... If you don't find evidence of limiting and you want help then you will need to post log files showing the problem.

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.

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...
