[QUOTE="thompsontv, post: 1265308, member: 164647"] Been using WMC since 2013 using Hauppage DCR-2650 with cable card and Verizon FIOS. Now that MS pulled the plug on EPG data, I figured it's time to upgrade to Windows 10 and a new HTPC software. I chose MP2 because I thought it would be easy to configure...I was wrong about that. I am quite tech savvy - have been in IT for quite awhile but this is a whole new level of frustration. My end goal though is to NOT pay Verizon for their DVR solution, so... The installation went smoothly but the tv guide shows the channels on the side but no program data. When I click on a channel to watch it, nothing...I'm sure I'm missing something simple, I just don't know where to look. I'm in Virginia if that helps for guidance on an EPG solution. I've signed up for Schedules Direct but getting that to interact with xmltv gui didn't work and I guess webepg doesn't work anymore...? I've done quite a bit of searching on using MP2 with the DCR-2650...am I wasting my time? Does anyone have FIOS? What do you use for a cable card tuner? Do you even need a cable card?
