So close and I still haven't gotten anywhere with Time Warner. Grrrrrrr.

Help remind me again what the deal is with TWC?

They only have the 3 or 4 local channels marked as copy-freely for the DRM.
All we can get without licensing the DRM are channels marked copy-freely.
Not worth $300 for the Ceton plus the $5 per month for the cable card for the same channels I can get over the air.
Trying to convince a person at TWC to open more channels like their competition does (FIOS and ComCast).
Making some headway but we keep playing phone tag.

Ahhhh gotcha. Wish I could help speed it up in some way for you.

Not without a patch.
The current patch for MP 1.3 final is linked in the first post.

Just a head's up to everyone here...
As far as I have seen, even with more direct access to the tuner with this new interface (UPnP/DRI) there is no way to retrieve EPG from the tuner. When this new build is released you'll need [to continue] to use SchedulesDirect, mc2xml, WebEPG or some other solution.

Ricky I use schedules direct and have no complaints.
