I don't fully understand sorry?
If you mean get the EPG if you don't have internet access then it can be grabbed via the digital TV stream if you get digital.
the methods in order of ease of use are:
Digital TV stream
Download from Internet
Download from Internet on another PC and copy the TVGuide.xml from there to your MP PC.
Hope that helps, give some more information if you want me to go into further details. Otherwise, there is a whole forum dedicated to EPG and you will most likely find your answers in there. You'll also need to tell us which country you are in...

Re: Is there a way to download the tv guide info without ca
Yes.
The TV guide info is grabbed from the internet, not your cable connecton. You dont even need a TV tuner installed to get EPG (Electronic Program Guide) data.
Not saying Marcusb's link is bad, but since you live in the US, this link may be more user friendly for you: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/viewtopic.php?t=16034
It's a little plugin that you install to automatically keep you EPG up to date. It's an excellent little side project by one of the developers, and quite a few of us are using it here successfully.

Result, it works on the two PC's we use for watching TV :D I've not lost anything by the looks of it either, all channels etc still setup.

PS. Exported all settings...

@CyberSimian As I have just posted in the MP2 subforum I will stay with MP1 for the time being. Many thanks for all your very informative and detailed responses. I will take your advice and monitor the Scheduled recordings list for the discrepancies you have described.
Cheers.

Most (all?) small PC cases accept only ITX motherboards, which have only one PCI-E slot. So you could install only one PCI-E tuner card. A quad-tuner card would give you four tuners, but if you wanted more tuners you would need to use the TBS eight-tuner card, or use external tuners, either USB tuners (available with single or dual...
