Setting up the EPG (1 Viewer)

[hamisht]

Hi,

Media Portal has scanned and found all the channels on Freeview HD (does Media Portal play 1080i or just downscale it to Standard Definition) in New Zealand, but I was wondering how I go about getting the EPG to work, as when I go into Media Portal, nothing comes up? Do I have to download the EPG somehow?

I checked the Manual link that popped up before I posted this thread, but it didnt actually tell me how to get it going. Thanks for any help!

SORRY! it must have just needed time to download the EPG info, as its working now.

but does Media Portal actually present HD shows in HD or just Standard def?

If you have the relevant codec installed, then you should see HD television, but this does rely on your hardware being able to process the image.

GeneralRequirements - MediaPortal Manual Documentation

Gives you a hardware guide to HD.
