I've been trying to get MP1 (OTA Live TV & Recording) running on a computer we use as a HTPC, and have been unsuccessful. I am transitioning away from WMC, which worked for the most part (seems like the most recent update by SilconDust caused some display issues - pixelating, etc)...Oh, and MS blew away the EPG without a viable path.
I was thinking through the issues that I had as I worked through the MP1 guides, and believe that the very first problem I ran into was that the Preview function in the TVServer Configuration dialog was not acting as I expected. When I select a channel to preview, I get sound and video for about a half-second, and then it freezes. Also of interest is that the HDHomeRun VIEW application sometimes displays video and audio on some channels, but is not showing video on some channels. So, I'm thinking at least part of the issue is the wireless HDHomeRun Extend Dual Tuner (but the setup did work in WMC).
I believe I've tried all of the suggestions in the guide, and am at my wits end. I don't want to go back to a contract in order to see broadcast TV! Any thoughts on how to systematically work through this?
