[QUOTE="Dan SK, post: 1139109, member: 153007"] Hoping for some help from the experts... I'm giving MediaPortal a try. I've been using Windows Media Center on a Windows 7 computer, and am considering converting to MediaPortal in anticipation of its demise under Windows 10. But I've not had luck getting MediaPortal to work. I've followed the instructions on the wiki as well as I could. I got the TV tuner card on my computer to scan through and find stations through the TV server configuration thing. And the channels do broadcast on the "Preview" function in that configuration. I've set up the computer to pul EPG data through the imdb web server (not sure if that's the right approach... it's an over-the-air antenna that I'm using for TV on this machine). However, going to MediaPortal, I cannot get the TV Guide to show any data. When I'm in the TV menu section, I cannot get the TV to turn on. When I select the "Channels" sub-menu, MediaPortal just freezes. So somehow MediaPortal's GUI is not talking to the whole TV server thing. I can get the radio to turn on and receive FM through the antenna connected to the computer, though that isn't always reliable -- it often freezes up in that case as well. Any help would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
