That is how it is supposed to work (MP1 works the same way). MP keeps TV channels separate from radio channels. This is different from WMC, which merged them together into a single EPG and a single recordings library.
MP1 has a "Radio" icon on the Home panel; selecting that takes you to a list of radio stations (or to another radio...

I am doing the same thing as you. I had 5 WMC7's runnnig with Plex, Netflix, MCEbuddy and Playon and am working on switching to MP.
I wanted to link to Plex until I installed Moving Pictures and MP-TVSeries plugins.

Hello and welcome Jim
MediaPortal's built in EPG grabber doesn't support grabbing NZ's DVB-T guide data. You're going to have to disable it and get data from elsewhere. I'd recommend EPG Collector:

Hi All.
Only since I lost MCE in Win 7 by upgrading to Win10 did I look for an alternative.
The problem I have is as you can see...
Picking up on your edit...
I'm not the best with this, but I think "standard" signal strength is 0 dB. Your cable company would have a margin of error above and below that which they'd consider acceptable. AFAIK -15 dB is about the level where you could be justified in starting to have concerns. Again, I'm not the best with this, so...

My advice (from a recent MP convert) is to just dump WMC now and upgrade to win 10 and install Media Portal - MP is far superior to WMC!. I wish I had made the change sooner.

If you are new to MP (as I am), I would suggest MP 1 and once you are competent with MP 1 then I would think about moving to MP2.

Hello and welcome! :)
You can use either MP1 or MP2. There's no hard and fast or obvious choice. Both are compatible with W10. Both can be made to support your tuner. It really depends on your personal appetite for tinkering. ;)

Hello and welcome Libby! :)
This is really the wrong place for this thread.
Briefly: I suspect you're trying to install MediaPortal 2. I'd advise to go with MediaPortal 1. Newer is not always better. In this case, MP2 is a work in progress; MP1 is mature and stable. There's nothing wrong with MP1.
Regards,
