im looking to setup a media portal VM and record some live hd tv to folders I can then share across my network to media portal clients, smart TV's etc.

Can media portal record from IP tv streams or do I need to use usb DVB tuners??

    MediaPortal can record from some IPTV streams. Namely: RTP, UDP, HTTP and RTSP streams that are packaged as MPEG 2 transport streams.

    I know you can do that with a DVB tuner... but I don't know of any IPTV streams for BBC etc.
    Having said that, I'm based in NZ so I wouldn't know the details of all the options for TV in the UK.

If you take the previous version (1.31) it should work as expected. For IPTV there is also a different option (with different pros and cons): Onlinevideos. I'm using that sometimes for my IPTV as...

    I had the same feeling about MP1, nothing was working out of the box, it was full of hardcoded dependencies and bugs. That’s how I came to MP2 and I’m very happy with it ;)
