[QUOTE="mrmr1234, post: 1237412, member: 162414"] So, I was forced to move to W10 after may years of using WMC on xp then W7 for Live TV and DVR. I've been going thru few options there, and so far none as painless as WMC. MP2 was pretty good to isntall and setup, Live TV setup good, video stable, audio quality very good. Next EPG setup! Hell! Tried many things, struggle mostly because I'm not a AV person, I barely know the difference between RF channel vs virtual channel, anyways, I finally figured it out. To summarize, in the US everything it appears is virtual channel.subchannel. MP2 setup methods all showing RF channel numbers is what IMO was the most confusing and obfuscating part of setup! WIth almost 100 channels showing up here in silicon valley (OTA), trying to manually map them is not appealing... lets say I'd rather just subscribe to newpaper and magazines :). To add insult to injury, the setup window which shows red/yellow/green colors for channel mappings could not be resized on W10 to get full TEXT of what I was gonna map each channel to. Editing files, XMLs, ...... meh! Anyways, is there an easier way? I just want TV guide like: 2.1 FOX : show1 show2 .... 7.1 CBS: show1 show2.... ..... thanks MR [/QUOTE]
