[QUOTE="mizzourob, post: 276031, member: 70186"] In The USA you will need to use the SchedulesDirect plugin for TVServer, and pay the $20 annual fee, they do offer a free trial to test it out too (not free but much cheaper than the cable company's fee). [[URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/plugins-47/schedules-direct-us-canadian-mexico-epg-plugin-updated-10-01-2007-a-26951/"]Link[/URL]] HDHomeRun can only pick up ClearQAM and not encrypted channels.
