[QUOTE="Legomaniac, post: 519360, member: 98557"] Hey guys, thanks in advance for your reply, I am building an HTPC for my living room, and figured since MediaPortal is open source it would be a better choice than MCE. I got it up and running after a few patches for XP and now it can access the TV-Server just fine and has access to all of our local channels. But i'm still having a few issues... 1) In the TV-Server settings I have EPG set to be collected both when idle and while viewing, and if I got down to the manual control tab, it says that my tuner's status is indeed "Grabbing EPG". I tried searching for this issue on the site earlier, and found a note in the manual that while a set top box may get EPG data in 5 minutes it could take MP up to an hour. So I let the process sit for an hour. Still no EPG data. Is there a setting i'm missing? I would really like to get the DVB EPG data without having to install a plugin that has to get it off the internet. 2) I would also like the home theater program I am using to have access to hulu and netflix. I thought that if I could just run Zinc inside of MP this would solve the issue. I installed Zinc and the MyZinc plugin, and MyZinc was added as an option to the main MP menu.
