[QUOTE="shaba230, post: 99615, member: 25796"] you know it seemed like a nice program but the hanging when switching from configuration mode to media portal and the full screen to window locking up really killed it for me. as far as saying setup isn't a breeze...hah this is what happened: Installed program Found 2 cards Scanned for stations on both tuners and radio stations Went to setup epg (without a tutorial at first mind you...i got nowhere because ho wwas i supposed to know to go to zipwhatever.com and setup an account...finally i found a tutorial: 1) setup that zip account, put in the code, chose my stations 2) tried to use the media portal grabber but kept getting an error about tvguideserver.exe (or somethingl like that) encountering a problem and having to close searched the forums for this error and found out that i need to workaround it by creating a batch file to do the manual update figured out waht all the commands meant for the manual update, created the batch file and followed the steps in a seperate tutorial now...this one keeping in mind the manual update finally getting epg info. then realizing i have an hdtv tuner and an analog tuner, so i have to go to that zip site and set them both up there then come back and redo my update thing and then remap all my channels to correspond to the zip site THENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN finally wait a fwe min to update from the tvguide.xml and run mediaportal. Oh look there is some overscan on some channels, go to the tuner properties and crop that out, NICE FEATURE!!!!! oh look i think i might be okay finally lets make this window big so i can lay back and watch some television *FREEZE* restart, try again FREEZE try installing the latest svn update same problem :( :( :( :( thats a lot of work that i just listed there, i don't care what anyone says...it's a lot of work for anyone. vista ultimate on the other hand: type in zip code select cable provider scan for channels/radio stations wait a bit longer for epg data to load hurray i'm done with no need to compensate for overscan either with their decoder (for some reason??)
