[QUOTE="cdw2000, post: 1267067, member: 164746"] It's looking like SageTV and it's support is dying a slow death at this point so I am looking at alternatives. I have a few questions about Media Portal, if you would indulge me: First, let me tell you my setup: [LIST] [*]HTPC being used as server and client (would be single-seat for Media Portal); I'm not using any SageTV media extenders [*]Brand new build with AMD Ryzen 5 3400G APU, 16GB of DDR4 RAM running Windows 10 x64 [*]HDHomeRun Prime cablecard tuner being used on network through wired LAN connection [*]Harmony 650 Remote with FLIRC-USB receiver [*]Currently just use SageTV as Live TV and DVR, but also have PlayOn which integrates with SageTV through a plug-in [*]Subscribe to Schedules Direct for EPG [*]Samsung QLED 4K UHD television [/LIST] And here's the questions: 1) Given my hardware and tuners, would you recommend MP1 or MP2? 2) Should I keep the Schedules Direct EPG, or are the free options in MP as good? (Note that the Schedules Direct API is going to be changing shortly according to a SageTV forum post) 3) Can the station/channel info be edited for display in the Guide? As an example, in SageTV I can edit the cable channel numbers for local stations to be the same as their OTA numbers (Channel 705 becomes Channel 5-1 (or 5.1)) 4) I saw some earlier forum posts regarding recording the Live TV buffer, did this ever get resolved/working? 5) Is there a way to import my current recorded programs (basically just .TS MPEG-2 files) 6) Do you recommend formatting the HDD to be used for recording with 64K clusters? (this is my current configuration) 7) Is there a plug-in to integrate PlayOn? Thanks in advance for any answers you can provide. [/QUOTE]
