[QUOTE="porky996t, post: 1024508, member: 75318"] Hi Des, Sorry for the late post, work has taken over my life recently and I missed your post :oops: but did you get everything working OK? Your audio issue on HD Channels would be down to the audio codec used. It is best to use the LAV audio codec - it is what I use and have had no issues with the HD channels. I also use the TBS cards, and have found them flawless. I note your issues with the EPG - I use a combination of Freesat and Freeview and have set up a channel group labelled "Favourites" to cover the main channels we watch - I find it easier to do this than scroll through 600+ channels. The EPG is populated by grabbing the Sky EPG via the DVB-S card, and this is done by using DJBlu's Sky Grabber plugin (see >>[URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/custom-data-grabber-including-sky-uk-channel-epg-grabber.96767/']here[/URL]<<) You can also use "Series Link" for your recordings. I would be lost without this plugin! I have now been using MP for nearly four years for watching live TV - the GF has also got used to it, and is more than happy with all it can do. It is a bit of a steep learning curve, and is certainly not "plug & play", however, in my view, the level of customisation provided gives a better user experience when all settings have been tinkered with.
