Are you talking about TV as in your using a tv card to watch tv?
I assume you are using TV Server. It doesn't need internet connection but uses IP connection for server/client connection so disconnecting the Ethernet or wireless connection while watching TV is usual to stop the TV.
I 've read people having problems especially with wireless connections that lose connection and stop TV. A way round it is install loopback adapter (you 'll find a thread here if you search) but if you have wired then you just don't disconnect it...
I think that if you start the TV without connection then it works fine but if you start it with connection and then disconnect then TV stops. But I 'm not sure about that.
bye

Set up TV server to use the 'MS loopback adaptor' (see link in my sig below).
TV server needs to associate itself with an network IP address to work - if there is an active network connection when it's installed then that seems to be the one it picks up, so if that connection disappears it stops working.

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!

@CyberSimian Sorry, I missed your last post. I ended up doing a clean install on the client and all is well now. It still doesn't let me go back in time when I change channels but it does continue operating from that point on. I'm ok with that. Thanks for your help!
EDIT: I now downgraded the server (as I did with the client above)...
