[QUOTE="Paul Bastow, post: 1162795, member: 156292"] Hi there, This is more of a bug report than a request for help, as I solved my problem. I am new to Media Portal. I am in the process of ditching cable TV. I have gotten myself a HD Homerun box and am integrating it with Media Portal for its PVR capabilities. I tried installing version 2 first. I found it was lacking the plug in support I wanted, to be able to get Canadian TV listings. So, I wiped and installed version 1. Not too shabby.
