[QUOTE="ngarcia001, post: 412161, member: 89233"] I use both schedules direct and HDHR. I pull the clear QAM channels from Comcast (basic cable). I didn't follow the Mediaportal installation guide at Silicon Dust. To set up my channels, I launched the HDHR Setup and used "ATSC Remap" rather than "Mediaportal" for the Application choice. I ran the channel search and found 100+ stations. As only a few are in clear QAM, I sorted the list by name (The HDRH setup application will contact Silicon Dust in the background and populate the list with channel names). I enabled the dozen or so that I wanted and deselected the rest. When you run the MP TV-Server configuration, the channel search will go pretty quick as it only finds the channels you enabled in the HDHR Setup (MP only finds 12 stations vs. 100+, which makes linking them to the guide a little more manageable). Enable the XMLTV plugin and link the channels. In my case, the names were similar enough that they matched all but 2 stations without any intervention. Don't know if that answers your question, but I tried. You may try to search the forums for more detailed instructions on setting up the HDHR and mediaportal. It's been awhile, so I can't remember where I came up with the above, but was probably from a post in these forums. Thanks, N [/QUOTE]
