[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 942553, member: 82144"] Hello and welcome Jeff No problem. Yep, fine. I've seen people here recommend this plugin for controlling the DirecTV boxes: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/17_Extensions/3_Plugins/TV-Server_Plugins/DirecTV_SHEF_IP_Control[/url] Yep, no worries. This should be straightforward. I think that is fine too. Certainly MP supports analog tuners. Depending on the brand and model, they can be a little tricky to set up. I'm not quite clear what you mean about switching to the analog tuner in case both Colossuses (Colossae??? :D ) are busy. Are you saying that the analog cable service carries some of the same channels as you get via the DirecTV boxes? If so, that could be a sticking point. Guide data is probably going to be a little trickier than with WMC regardless of the twist because MP doesn't have a guide service like Microsoft. That's simply because we don't have the money to make arrangements with the companies that supply the data. You'll probably need to use [URL='http://www.schedulesdirect.org/']SchedulesDirect[/URL] (MP plugin -->[URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/television/schedulesdirect-guide-importer']here[/URL]<--) and/or [URL='http://mc2xml.hosterbox.net/']mc2xml[/URL] for this. As kiwijunglist says, that should be fine as long as you don't attempt to use your Colossae and/or tuners in both WMC and MP at the same time. mm [/QUOTE]
