[QUOTE="milhouse, post: 287609, member: 26653"] The regular MP documentation should suffice for enabling and setting up the TV functionality. But for specifics you get into a bit of "it depends". I assume you are using a single HTPC that acts as the client and has the TV card? Are you using 1.0 RC2 in single seat mode? That would install the client and TV Server on the same box. See the settup documentation there. The hardest part is usually the EPG. I highly recommend the schedules direct plugin, and a subscription to schedulesdirect.org. It's not free ($15/year) but has both US and Canada listing. You get a 7 day free trial if you want to first just see if it works. (search the forum for "schedules direct") For controlling the STB, it depends on the blaster you use. If you have, for example, a Hauppauage 150 with the IR blaster, you can use in-built functionality (there's a plugin). If you have one with the eHome transceiver, then I recommend the MCE Replacement plugin for blasting - it has the Dish settop box preconfigured so you can select from a list.
