Hello,
I am a new MP user. I recently installed MP2.3 on a HTPC running Win 7 64 bit. I have an networked Silicon Dust HDHR3-US tuner which is setup and installed with the latest Silicon Dust drivers and firmware. I planned on setting up the client and server on the same PC. Eventually I will add a second client on another PC. The DVR and media storage will be on the server on the first PC.

I ran through the installation, following the MP2 setup guides here:
[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal2/Setup+Guides[/URL]
and hit a few problems:
(1) I was unable to identify a working source for guide data and configure it. I am in the USA. What is a known good source for guide data? Which plug-in should I use? (I tried WebEPG but could not find a good guide source web site.)
(2) After TV setup including a successful channel scan and map, I was not able to play any channels. I just got a black screen.
(3) i was not able to see any media, although I may not have set up media sources correctly.
(4) I was not able to configure or launch any third party applications from AppLauncher. (By the way, when I close the launched app, does MP2 come back to the foreground?)

In short, a big zero. I have built and configured HTPCs using Windows 7 Media Center previously. I would be grateful for some help from the MP community to get me get over the startup hump. Thanks!
