We all need to step up and and help out with the wiki.  I'm going add some ATSC info soon to help people get up and runnig.You do know that you can backup your tuning data.  The only time I ever autotune is when I am testing something for a dev.  Other than that I jsut import my Channels fromt he xml file that MP makes when you choose to back up your channels. Look in configuration.exe in the TV Channels Tab for backup.This is currently being worked on for US lineups. I was testing the plugin last night with bradsjm.In short, I think MP is converging on your expectations.  The dev team is working hard and it needs this kind of constructive feedback.  I know it can be frustrating, but from my experience as a tester, these devs work on MP for the fun of it. They do it for us.  There is no alterior motive of profit or future selling of the product.  So be patient, and help out as much as you can. This means:1. Help out and post logs when you encounter errors. These forums are busy. We try to keep up here as well as we can. If you want your bug addressed you really should post at the testteam forum: <a href="http://www.testteam-mediaportal.com/Joomla/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=43" target="_blank">http://www.testteam-mediaportal.com/Joomla/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=43</a>2. Don't get all whiny and pissy.  The MP team isn't trying to sell you anything. They are trying to GIVE you something.  And many of them have families, careers, and lot's of other things competing with their time.  3.  I know that many of you have feature requests etc.  The dev team is a lot smaller than you think.  From one side of your mouths you are saying "I want this. I want that. I want this, Change that!"...yet on the other side of your mouth you have the temerity to complain about MP being a resource hog, MP being unoptimized, MP being hard to set-up.  Think about it...You can't have both at this stage of development.  4.  Realize this: The dev team is focusing on major bugs.   Once they are quashed, 0.2 will be released.  AFTER 0.2 release the focus will shift to cleaning up the code and making things smoother and faster.  Again, the dev team is much smaller than you think, and contrary to popular belief, the MP project is not their livelihood.  5.  Feedback is good.  But don't just sit there at your computer and complain. Get on IRC chat, help test a few bugs...help people configure their MP...give guidance to Portal Virgins.  DO your part!6. I can't stress this enough  Chat with us live! See the link on every page  (upper left). Click it, Use it.  At least 50% of perceived MP bugs are PEBCAK* related.  If you get on IRC and catch some of us there (again be patient), a lot of times we can troubleshoot with you and get to the bottom of your problems. At the very least, we get more info about real bugs.*PEBCAK = Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard</blockquote>
