[QUOTE="Iceman89610, post: 1084825, member: 79790"] Wow, what a read. I've been away from MediaPortal for the last three years and circumstances have lead me back here again. I started off using MP back in its early days and I was impressed. I then found this plugin back in its very early days and could see the direction it was taking but due to constant bsod's and multiple epg drops I ditched everything and went back to Sky.
