Check the connection string: Server=localhost;Database=MpTvDb;User ID=root;Password=MediaPortal;charset=utf8;Connection Timeout=30;
[/code]

And from the TVServer log...
[code]
2013-04-12 18:52:48.011284 [MPMain(1)]: TvServer: Failed to execute remote TV server operation (CardByIndex) No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 192.168.1.10:31456
[/code]

In config you reference TVServer by IP (192.168.1.10), your MySQL reference as 'localhost' (127.0.0.1 by default) - could be names or firewall ports.

Good luck and Sky+ (but understand GF pressure)
