Hi speedoman1967
Default settings:
host name = name of computer you installed TV Server on (*not* localhost or 127.0.0.1)
database name = default is MpTvDb
user name = root
password = MediaPortal
If you installed MySQL by yourself then you have to make sure you give the root user all the privileges on the database schema and allow connections from the local machine through TCP/IP. If you don't know what that means then best to let MP install and configure MySQL for you.

Hi,
First off: there are some issues with the latest Mediaportal (32bits vs 64bits), so that is one of the issues you're stumbling with.
If you take the previous version (1.31) it should work as expected.
For IPTV there is also a different option (with different pros and cons): Onlinevideos.
I'm using that sometimes for my IPTV as...

I've setup my HDHomeRun in MP1 as (4) IPTV cards rather than Atsc. I can see the (4) Atsc cards, but just have them disabled.

I'll provide more...
