It appears that my broadband wifi modem must be powered up so that scheduled tv recordings will work - is this correct?

Yes I saw that article, that is why I suspected that LAN was needed. I also wondered why the MP setup asked if PC always connected to internet. Strange that this wasn't mentioned as a requirement or that the effect of turning off the modem would stop scheduled recordings!

Anyway, thanks for your reply. MP is a great product and well done to all involved.

:D

Hi, it looks like the Client's server connection settings got corrupted somehow and were reset, hopefully this is an easy fix.

Hmm, seems to me that there is something very non-standard about your win 7 setup on top of the fact that MS no longer support Win 7 and very little testing has been done in conjunction with it and the latest versions of Media Portal, basically because hardly anyone is using that version of the OS any longer. By all means continue...

On the assumption you are using an OTA/Cable or Sat tuner then no internet connection is required for live TV recordings. BUT only if you already have Media Portal fully installed and functional. For all practical purposes you will need an internet connection to get Media Portal properly installed on a PC! Yes.

@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.

MP1 MP2 [solved] Purge old recordings DE
Today my PVR disk died, taking with it a load of old recorded TV programmes. I swapped in a spare drive but I see that MP2 still thinks the old recordings exist. I expected the metadata for the recordings to be in same folder as the PVR but apparently not. How do I make MP2 forget about these old recordings? Needless to say, I tried...
