[QUOTE="DesertDwarf, post: 1136593, member: 152552"] Hi folks, I'm migrating from the headache that is Windows Media Center to MediaPortal 1. I've been trying to get this set up for too long. I have a Schedules Direct account with my line-up chosen. I'm a Cox digital cable customer in Phoenix, AZ, USA with no premium channels. I get HD channels in addition to SD. (For example, ABC, which is KNXV here, is 15 for SD and 15-1 for HD and I can get both.) I've been challenged by having the scan turn up approximately 200 Unknown channels. Some are scrambled and some say "NoPMTFound" when I try to preview it. So, I was going through them and cleaning them up over the last few evenings. However, today, my total channels count on that tab ("MediaPortal - TV Server Configuration" -> TV Channels ... the "Channels" tab) went from just under 300 to over 800. I scrolled down and found many, many channels with very complete and descriptive names that indicate "Channel not mapped to a card". So, now I have over more 500 channels to clean up. I'm realizing that, without an installation guide (or at least my search didn't turn up any), I may not be doing the Schedules Direct thing correctly. In fact, in doing more searching, I'm puzzled because it seems like people were doing Schedules Direct with XmlTv plugin. I just don't know what the proper, least time-consuming, and most correct procedures are. Help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
