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.

    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.

    The only configuration that is certain to work is when the MP client and MP server are from the same release. It is sometimes possible to use MP clients from a release that is different to the MP server, but whether it works depends on the specific changes that were made between the two releases. -- from CyberSimian in the UK

    I've setup my HDHomeRun in MP1 as (4) IPTV cards rather than Atsc. I can see the (4) Atsc cards, but just have them disabled. I did it this way so I didn't have to edit the channel names every time tested a new TV-server install. Anyway, it works. I don't know if this would get you past the BDA driver issue. I'll provide more...
