[QUOTE="GrdLock, post: 734129, member: 112654"] I'd really love to ditch WMC, and I'm trying to setup MediaPortal on my HTPC. I'm using a Hauppauge 1850 card and I'm trying to setup the ClearQAM channels I get over my cable line. Basically just HD local channels, and a few others from the lineup listed here: [url]http://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/lineup_web/US:77388#lineup_5186689[/url] First I tried just scanning for channels using the TV-Server configuration, which came back with 750 or so channels, most of them encrypted.
