MP1 MP2 Server or no server (1 Viewer) DE
Hello and welcome :) My opinion: it's definitely a good idea to have all your tuners in the server. As you've already identified, this is the best way to avoid double-recordings, re-recordings and having to move media around. Note that unlike WMC which requires one tuner per channel, MP is able to use one tuner to time-shift and/or...

Pressing Alt-Enter toggles between 3 window modes : Fullscreen -> Always on top -> Windowed. Pressing Alt-Enter again should put you in regular windowed mode, you can tell because the maximise and minimise buttons are visible in the top right.

Great! :) I don't think this would affect TV Server... but it does give you an indication that Charter had moved stuff around. Ha! :D Yes, generally scans should be no big deal.

I'm sorry if you thought my answer was condescending. I certainly didn't intend for what I said to be interpreted that way. In your prior reply you didn't just say "figure it out"; you specifically said: "figure out how to support premium channels". Hence the angle of my previous replies. Have you tried MediaPortal? If yes, I'd be...

Hi. Maybe you are in the wrong forum here. It is all about Media Portal here, an HTPC Application for Windows PC. Maybe the site has changed lately and/or the server did not work properly.

Any chance this happened after you rebooted without the driver or USB-stick?

So nothing changed, but the TV server...
