[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1093201, member: 82144"] Hello again :) MediaPortal's TV Server can do that. It runs as a Windows service, starting automatically with Windows. Once configured with schedules etc. (which you'd do via the MediaPortal front end) it can just do its thing in the background. No need to keep the front end open all the time. Your HDHomeRun can receive OTA and clear QAM (unencrypted cable). MediaPortal's TV Server can handle either or both fine. My question would be: how does the "unscrambled cable box" fit in? Is that cable signal going to come in via the HDHomeRun, or do you intend to connect the cable box to the PC some other way? These are the options for EPG in the US: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/setup-help.124506/#post-1061869[/url] All are free except SchedulesDirect which is $25 USD per year. In my opinion, yes. :) So is MediaPortal [the front end]. However, it can run alongside other software in a window quite happily (ie. you can watch TV/recordings while doing other stuff too), and the TV Server component is perfectly happy to run in the background. mm [/QUOTE]
