[QUOTE="robbo100, post: 828638, member: 91446"] If you have no problems with your current MP TV Server, then I would recommend that you keep the MP TV Server. So install the MP Tuner plugin and don't bother with Argus. What do you mean by "set up rules using a keyboard/mouse"? If you are talking about how do you set up recordings using complex rules, then the best method is to use the web interface (in my opinion). With regards to the MP EPG, it depends upon how you grab your EPG data and also if you are using the MP TV Server or Argus. For the MP TV Server, if you use DVB-EPG then the data can be passed through from MP to 4TR. You can also use an internet XML grabber to drop an XML file in the appropriate directory and 4TR will autoprocess it each time. After the first time the file is "dropped-in" you then need to link the grabbed channel data with the approriate channels in the 4TR management console.
