[QUOTE="rkstant, post: 1099735, member: 149891"] Hi All - This is my first post. I am new to MP and having some issues. I would appreciate some help from some happy users and experts. I was happily using BeyondTV until I made the mistake of upgrading to Windows 8.1. That ended my BTV experience. I then paid the extra bucks for Windows Media Player...that was a mess. So I was looking for a new app to watch and record TV on my PC and saw good things about MP. I have a cable box from Comcast, a Happauge WinTV HVR-1800 tv card, a USB IRT device to change the stations on my cable box and I've installed MP. With my old setup, BTV could be told about the USB IRT and which cable service (Comcast) I use and it would download the tv station and program guide and allow the application to change the station when I used my keyboard and the onscreen guide to select a show to watch. If I told BVT the shows I would like to schedule to record, it would change the station at the appropriate time and record the show. I'm nowhere near there with MP. I've installed MP, the IRSS and plugins for WebEPG and XmlTv. I only see channel 3. What I expected was a way to tell the system which cable system I had a fetch the appropriate guide and then load it. I also expected MP to be able to cycle through the channels that were availabe from the guide, if necessary. I have been doing a lot of reading in the Wiki, but I'm no expert in this stuff. Can anyone help me out with getting things going? I don't need radio or music managed by this app. I just want to watch and record TV. Thanks, Rick [/QUOTE]
