[QUOTE="BillyGates, post: 83848, member: 25795"] Well I'm just starting to look at MediaPortal as an alternative to MCE 2005 (like most people), and I'm getting the bad feeling that MP isn't really for people in the US, and is primarily for people outside the US where MCE may not be as well supported? : Problem #1: Mapping channels... I go to map channels in MP Setup, I do a lookup for the US, then it only lists 7 cities in the US?! Within MP Setup, there's a nice 'Import from TV Guide' button, but I can't find any good information on how to get this working. So than I do a bunch of reading and it looks like WebEPG is really the only available option... run that... and it only maps channels for 'Central' and 'Eastern' US... I guess 'Western' US fell off the map... :) I've got 75 channels to map, and not looking forward to doing it manually... and also not clear how effectively the guides will be updated. As a help to US users... you may want to check out the plug-in Zap2ItGuide Remapper. [url]https://www.team-mediaportal.com/files/Download/Plugins/EPGorTV/orderby,2/page,2/[/url] and read this Sticky :) [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/showthread.php?t=4636[/url] But I'm really unclear how many people in the US may be using MP to watch TV... The MCE 'enter your ZIP code', and 'select your cable provider'... and everything else works is pretty nice... and unfortunately after an hour of try to get this working... I'll need to take a break from MP for awhile until I get the feeling there's some significant US usage here. :) Good luck! I have great promise for MP for the future... maybe v.3 with the new TV Engine? :D [/QUOTE]
