[QUOTE="Old school Bob, post: 1276250, member: 166332"] Thanks CyberSimian, Here’s the problems I have now that Windows 7 is no longer supported and I can’t get TV guide listings – when I surf through the channels I get “No Data Available” so I don’t know what’s playing. (Especially if it’s during a commercial). Also when I record something it’s listed as “Manual Recording” and the channel. So I end up with a folder full of recordings that I don’t know what they are. My current system is general purpose and Windows 7 does everything I need (internet, E-mail, anti-virus, everything). I had Windows 10 and hated it. I went back to 7. When I purchased a laptop for my shop I told them I would only buy it if it had Windows 7. That cost me extra but it’s worth it. How do I know (or how can I find out) if the content is copy protected.(I doubt it is). And why is Windows Media Center the only system that allows me to watch Cable TV? My Hauppauge box has a card in it from the cable company that I pay a monthly fee for. Similar to the cable box on our other TVs. So I wouldn’t expect it to be copy protected. Seems that if I’m paying for that signal from the cable company that any program on my computer should see and use that signal. The cable comes into the Hauppauge box then (via USB) goes to the computer. I just need MediaPortal to find that signal. Seems we are really close. Thanks for the lead on the Schedules Direct and EPG123 but that sounds much more complicated. I had really high hopes for this MediaPortal. Perhaps someone else may have the solution. Bob [/QUOTE]
