[QUOTE="greenenvy, post: 924457, member: 132028"] Hi all, I've been using Windows Media Center for several years and felt like trying out something different. I have the following: Frontend/Client: Win7 Pro x64 AMD A10 APU 8GB DDR3 120GB SSD Mediaportal 1.2.3 Backend: Win7Pro x64 Intel i5 8GB DDR3 1TB HDD Hauppauge HVR-1600 Hauppauge HVR-2250 HDHR-US Mediaportal 1.2.3 with Schedulesdirect plugin I live in the Niagara region, Cogeco is the cable company. We don't pay for cable TV, but do have cable internet. About 80 channels are unencrypted QAM which we can receive. This has all worked fine in WMC for the last couple years. The HDHR has the cable TV hooked into it's dual tuners. It scans and finds 300 or so channels, 80 of which are open/unencrypted The two Hauppauge cards are plugged into different antenna's outside and get about 15 ATSC channels. I can't get the linking/mapping between channels to work so that the guide data populates in Mediaprotal. All the channels found on the HDHR look like "Unknown-46025-21" for example. I can tune to it, and then determine what channel it actually is by watching for their logo. I can't however seem to get the EPG data to line up. An example, TSN (sports network) is on named 607250-3B after being found in a scan. Schedules Direct lists this at "28 TSN" on their site. I tried renaming the channel to the ID# schedules direct shows (11182) but didn't get the listings. I tried renaming it to "28 TSN" and again still didn't get any listings for it.
