[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1279406, member: 141969"] Hmm, two more Wiki pages purporting to describe how to set up EPG grabbing :eek:. Neither of those pages gives all of the details contained in [URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/DVB+EPG']this page[/URL]. Although this is an MP1 page, "TV Server" is identical between MP1 and MP2, so everything described in that page is relevant to your MP2 installlation. (y) I use a 4-output amplified aerial splitter to feed my system: [LIST] [*]One output goes directly to the TV. [*]One output goes to my Pinnacle 2000i dual-tuner card in the HTPC (card has one input socket). [*]Two outputs go to my TBS 6284 quad-tuner card in the HTPC (card has two input sockets). [/LIST] The Pinnacle and TBS cards both have output sockets, so they could in principle be daisy-chained, but I don't use them that way. Instead I leave those output sockets unconnected. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
