Hi, I just started using MediaPortal 1, but I cannot configure it to grab the EPG information. I am using a SiliconDust HDHomerun Dual TV Card (2 tuners). Windows 8 s my OS. What can I do to configure the EPG properly?

This shows how to set up getting EPG data from digital TV through TV cards: http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/13_Quick_Setup/2_TV_Quick_Setup . About half way down the page. (It takes a while to get data so watch tv for a while and give it a chance to populate the EPG)
This thread shows 2 different ways to get EPG data in the United States. https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...om-grabber-file-adds-subtitle-support.108360/

another US EPG option is to download, install, configure the SchedulesDirect plugin. I think it costs about $25/yr for an account and download the EPG info. I have not tried this option. You can download the MePo plugin from the following and it has links to the MePo forum about SchedulesDirect

TLD,
I don't think the EPG option you showed applies to US OTA/ATSC. I tried turning it on, enabled background EPG grab, view show for 30 minutes etc. The logs shows EPG grab starting, but it does not find anything. I think that only applies to DVB outside the US.
You can get US EPG grabbing working for ATSC OTA if you download/setup EPG Collector and XMLTV. Not sure I'd recommend this option for a new MePo user. I put an example of how I set this up in the following forum message.

Oh didn't know that as i don't use TV card for EPG, I'll keep it in mind so i don't steer folks the wrong direction.
Thanks Ron.

Perhaps... Only way to confirm would be for me to invest in a different USB DVB-S2 tuner (like the Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-S2), which I might do if the issue persists.

Well, the log doesn't show any problems. I can see correctly tuned channels in the log. It seems to me that the tuner works fine.
Can you copy the created ts file(located in your timeshift folder) somewhere else while in channel preview and try to play it in VLC or MPC-HC?
PS: You can also try to make short record
