[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 878112, member: 82144"] Hi and welcome brcarls :) I could be wrong (and this comment doesn't necessarily only relate to DirecTV), but I think many people are using IRSS ([url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/IRServerSuite[/url]) with either an IR blaster or external application to control the STB over whatever protocol is available. For guide data and channel loading I think people are using SchedulesDirect ([url]http://www.schedulesdirect.org/[/url]). Alternatively you can load channels using SchedulesDirect then switch to mc2xml ([url]http://mc2xml.hosterbox.net/[/url]) when the trial runs out. There is a tutorial here that *might* be of vague use: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/17_Extensions/3_Plugins/IRSS_(IR_Server_Suite)/Set_Top_Box_Blasting[/url] (note that you don't have to add the channels as described there if you use SchedulesDirect) The SchedulesDirect plugin for MP is available from here: [url]https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/television/schedulesdirect-guide-importer?lang=en[/url] mm [/QUOTE]
