Q1.) I have installed MP2 on my Windows 10 Pro computer. I have Comcast cable and set top box. Where can I find information about which TV cards will work with MP2 and Comcast set top box ?
in our Wiki you find the list of compatible hardware.
If your hardware is not mentioned try to use the search function in forum. If you are lucky others tried your hardware and shared their experience. In worst case you need to just try by your self. As we are Open Source we can unfortunately not purchase all hardware types, but just the mainstream hardware.
you can find infor for this in our Wiki. I've no experience with Comcast, but basically the EPG setup is similar for any kind of channels.
For cable and satelite the EPG is mostly delivered directly by the provider. Alternatively you can use xml based sources. I use for example the EPGBuddy, which is also mentioned in the WIKI.
You can check the MediaPortal forum for a list of compatible TV cards with MP2 and Comcast set-top boxes. The forum has a dedicated section for hardware discussions where users share their experiences. You might also want to look into the official MediaPortal documentation for any specific recommendations on TV cards. Good luck!
