[QUOTE="hamaholic, post: 543472, member: 99463"] I have been working with this on/off for two weeks without success. I cannot get the single most important (to me) feature of MP working: watching tv with program guides. I am using the HDHomerun with the latest firmware and Schedulesdirect. The problem I find is that I get inconsistent and wrong channel identification. A)The HDHomerun application correctly scans and identifies most of the channels both off-air and Clear QAM. B)When I scan the HDHomerun tuner 0 in MP (set to digital antenna on the HDHomerun), it comes up with all the channels it found. Many are unknown and I edited them to agree with my SchedulesDirect lineup, or deleted them. C)When I scan the HDHomerun tuner 1 in MP (set to digital cable on the HDHomerun), it picks up many channels but they are all "unidentified-{frequency-sub-channel}". I can never get the EPG to populate the cable channels and I get errors because they are not mapped to a card. When I look at the properties of my channels, I find many problems: 1. The clear QAM channels are incorrectly identified as type ATSC, rather than DVB-C (although they are 256QAM). 2. Sometimes I have digital cable channels identified as "Analog" type, although the HDHomerun does not have an NTSC demodulator. 3. I get various mixtures of the above, when I rescan, or delete and rescan the channels. 4. The program guide sometimes populates the channel names and guide contents, sometimes not. I can't find any repeatability to the process. Can someone please describe a WORK FLOW to get this configured properly? For example: 1. Scan all antenna channels. 2. Scan all cable channels. 3. Let the guide update 4. Combine channels 5. Edit channels to list as desired. 6. Map channels to groups. 7. ... I would like to find a process that works consistently so that I can end my two week frustration trying to use this really attractive product! I think the confusion and problems come in the order of steps 3 through 6, but maybe there's something else wrong, as well. Thanks for any help given! Dean [/QUOTE]
