[QUOTE="Lyfesaver74, post: 980622, member: 107242"] BTW, I am using a Ceton PCIe card with my setup. Just about to add my 2nd for 8 tuners and will most likely buy one more in a month for a total of 12 tuners. It is working VERY well. What had to be done to get it to scan was to set the scan interval to 7 minutes and it got all the channels. You wont notice anything happen for the 7 minutes and then once done, all channels were imported. As for EPG Mapping in the US I use MC2XML with the XMLTV plugin. Where it gets tricky is that a lot of my channels did not want to auto pair, but a lot did. It seems that if you know basic SQL you can do some renaming that will make it go much easier. Here is why, due to receiving ALL channels you will get AMC East and AMC West. Have the SQL strip out any reference to East, (East), (EAST) or EAST, plus the space right before, then have it rename all references of West, (West), (WEST) and WEST to Pacific and then 95% will match. Locals and and few special fixes will still be needed (E! TV needs to be E! or E, things like that). Also for any FiOS customers I have a nice logo pack I can share.
