[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1150105, member: 82144"] Okay, good. It's not meant to be. It sounds like you have the typical SD plugin mapping issues. The SD plugin seems to work well with over-the-air ATSC TV, but not very well with cable. So, you have the channels that you scanned in. They can be viewed... but have no guide data. Then you have channels that the SD plugin created, which are named beautifully, and all have guide data... but can't be viewed. It's a bit of a stand-off. The recommendation I give to people in your position is to pull in the SD data in a way that enables you to map/link the guide data with your existing channels properly. To be specific, I would: [LIST=1] [*]Disable the SD plugin in TV Server configuration. [*]Go to the TV Channels section in TV Server configuration and delete all channels marked as "not mapped..." (those are the channels that the SD plugin created). [*]Follow [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/13_Setup_Guides/2_TV_Setup/4_TV_Guide_Setup_%28EPG%29/XMLTV_mc2xml']this guide[/URL] to setup [URL='http://mc2xml.hosterbox.net/']mc2xml [/URL]with the XMLTV plugin (comes with TV Server - you already have it). mc2xml can pull your SD guide data into a file that the XMLTV plugin can import; the XMLTV plugin enables you to specify which guide channel gets linked to each scanned TV Server channel.
