[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1141018, member: 82144"] Hello again That looks good. I also have no idea which ports the HDHomeRun uses. This is something that is usually transparent to TV Server (MediaPortal). From a TV Server perspective the HDHomeRun looks just like any other tuner. In other words, TV Server doesn't actually know that the HDHomeRun is network-attached. I would have thought that taking down the firewall would have been sufficient if network access were the problem. This doesn't really tell me anything, because MediaPortal and Kodi interface with the HDHomeRun in completely different ways. This could be a crucial point. I still run XP myself, and I have cause to install the HDHomeRun software on my PC. Therefore I'm aware that the latest HDHomeRun software cannot be installed on XP. The screenshot you posted does not look like it came from XP... so I feel there's a disconnect somewhere. In case you weren't aware: TV Server (MediaPortal) won't be able to use the HDHomeRun unless the HDHomeRun software is installed on the PC that TV Server is installed on. Therefore, if you want to use your HDHomeRun with XP, you'll need to install an older version of the HDHomeRun software that is still compatible with XP. This may or may not be problematic given that you have an HDHomeRun Extend. I'm not sure if there is any XP-compatible version of the HDHomeRun software that fully supports the Extend's capabilities. As far as I know, the last version of the HDHomeRun software which is XP-compatible is version 20141210. You won't find it linked anywhere on the SiliconDust website, but this link should work: [URL]http://download.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/hdhomerun_windows_20141210.exe[/URL] If I've understood the situation correctly, installing and configuring that on your XP machine should finally allow TV Server to see the tuner.
