[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1086969, member: 82144"] Hello rootdet No, you're not doing anything wrong. You can't receive premium channels like HBO and ShowTime with MediaPortal. Comcast will have marked them with the "copy once" flag to try to prevent programs from being recorded then shared on the internet. For MediaPortal to be able to receive a channel it must be marked as "copy freely". To see the channels you can get in MediaPortal you can load the following link in your internet browser: [url]http://<PRIME[/url] IP address>/lineup.xml?show=unprotected To see all channels in your lineup: [url]http://<PRIME[/url] IP address>/lineup.xml?show=all The channels that are in the "all" list but not in the "unprotected" list are the ones you can't get in MediaPortal. I note that this restriction applies to almost all PC software - N-PVR, MythTV, SageTV etc. Only WMC currently enables you to get "copy once" channels. Regards, mm [/QUOTE]
